Special Issue ''Synthesis and Characterization of Various Nanomaterials Based on Graphene Derivatives'' in the Processes (ISSN 2227-9717). Dear Colleagues, Graphene, a two-dimensional material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has garnered immense attention in recent years due to its exceptional properties. However, the pristine form of graphene exhibits limitations in certain applications, necessitating the exploration of graphene derivatives. These derivatives, modified versions of graphene with tailored properties, offer enhanced functionality and versatility, paving the way for innovative applications across various fields. The synthesis of graphene derivatives involves the functionalization, doping, or hybridization of graphene with other materials to impart the desired properties. The applications of graphene derivatives span a wide range of sectors, including electronics, energy storage, catalysts, and environmental remediation. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of graphene derivatives. Contributions covering topics such as novel synthesis methods, fundamental insights into their properties, and innovative applications in emerging fields are welcome. By bringing together researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate the development of graphene derivatives for addressing global challenges and driving technological innovation. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Novel synthesis approaches for graphene derivatives; Functionalization and doping strategies to tailor graphene properties; Characterization techniques for assessing graphene derivative properties; Advanced applications of graphene derivatives in organic chemistry, catalysts, electronics, energy, biomedicine, and environmental computational modeling and theoretical studies of graphene derivative behavior; Challenges and opportunities for scaling up the production of graphene derivatives for commercialization; Environmental, health, and safety considerations of graphene derivative use. We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that contribute to advancing the field of graphene derivatives. Together, let us unravel the full potential of graphene derivatives and harness their transformative impact on science, technology, and society.

📣 New Special Issue " Preparation and Application of Intelligent Hydrogel Composites", edited by Dr. Rasool Nasseri from the University of Waterloo and Dr. Amir Jangizehi from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, is open for submissions in Processes MDPI 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dEEa2NHA The equilibrium self-assembly of microstructures within hydrogels has been known for millennia and fundamentally understood over the past two centuries. The minimization of potential energy and entropy provides a thermodynamic basis for microstructures to settle into their equilibrium configurations. The design of intelligent hydrogels, capable of movement, morphing, energy transformation, and even mimicking life functions, requires the non-equilibrium assembly of their adaptive microstructures. Despite significant advancements, developing intelligent hydrogels with versatile user-defined mechanical properties, mass transport behavior, and biologically inspired functions remains a formidable challenge. This Special Issue on the “Preparation and Application of Intelligent Hydrogel Composites” will focus on the development of multicomponent intelligent hydrogels to address these challenges of single-component hydrogels. This Special Issue invites the submission of original research on topics including, but are not limited to, the following: Anisotropic intelligent hydrogels; Stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanocomposites; Shape-morphing multi-layer hydrogels; Gradient hydrogel nanocomposites; Microporous hydrogels; Fast-actuating hydrogels. 📅 Submission Deadline: 15 July 2025

The special issue “Acoustic and Mechanical Metamaterials: Recent Advances” in “Materials” journal (IF: 3.748) is now open for submissions at: https://lnkd.in/e3_nSUWy It is well known that acoustic metamaterials are usually designed to effectively manipulate acoustic #waves. On the other hand, #mechanical metamaterials are used not only for their mechanical aspects such as auxeticity, shape #morphing, and #energy absorption, but in many cases, they are used for their excellent capability to manipulate acoustic waves. This is why there is a relatively broad overlap of research in the fields of acoustic and mechanical metamaterials. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore the latest advances in the design and manufacturing of acoustic and mechanical metamaterials. This Special Issue welcomes original research papers and review articles covering all relevant topics, including but not limited to: Pentamodes; Double-negative #acoustic #metamaterials; #auxetic metamaterials; #Cosserat metamaterials; Split-ring resonators; #Phononic crystals; #superlenses; Metamaterials with negative compressibility; #Willis materials.
