Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent research on chemical sensors utilizing nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanowires, and graphene has significantly advanced the field of sensing technology, driven by the unique properties of these nanomaterials. These materials offer high surface-to-volume ratios, tunable physicochemical properties, and excellent electrical conductivity, making them ideal for detecting various chemical species with enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and response times.
We invite authors to submit original research and review articles related to hybridized nanoparticles, nanorods, nanosheets, and other nano-platforms for chemical sensing applications.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanoparticle surface functionalization in chemical sensor design;
- Nanowire surface functionalization in chemical sensor development;
- Nanosheet surface functionalization and geometric deformation in chemical sensor design;
- Arraying/patterning nanomaterials for higher sensitivity and selectivity;
- Portable chemical sensor development;
- Chemical sensor design for environmental and biomedical applications;
- Chemical sensor development for toxic chemical detection;
- Chemical sensor development for narcotic materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short 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 thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
