Dear Colleagues,

Currently, sensors are recognized to be essential devices as interfaces of advanced information systems. Adding suitable functions to sensors is effective way to place and enhance value on information. For instance, an RFID reader which can scan every item in a shopping basket may provide a beneficial impact to customers, and continuous in-vivo biomonitoring with flexible and biocompatible sensors drastically improves the quality-of-life of patients and promotion of health by home healthcare. Fusion of new sensing methods, device technologies and advanced materials assumes important role in such “sensing” breakthroughs. This combined special issue entitled “Bio-devices and Materials” is intended to be a reflection of timely research topics, in the area of device technologies, methods and materials to open new window of sensing technologies.

Submission

All manuscripts should be submitted to materials@mdpi.org with a copy to the Guest Editor. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this Open Access journal is 800 CHF per accepted paper.
