3D Printing for Separation and Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in 3D printing technologies and materials have enabled the rapid development of innovative separation and sensing techniques for a broad range of applications. Based on a growing capability to create highly customized devices, materials, and structures, with complex geometries in a single step, 3D printing has the potential to transform the field of separation and sensing. In this Special Issue, we invite contributions that report recent advances in 3D printing for separation and sensing. Separation methods include analytical and preparative techniques for the separation of molecules and particles. Chemical sensing includes systems that enable the measurement of chemical or physical properties of the specific analyte into a measurable signal that can be quantitative and qualitative. All types of 3D printing can be used, but please note the focus of the Special Issue is on the use of 3D-printed devices to achieve separation and sensing, and not those merely employing 3D printing to create a holder or cartridge. The Special Issue also invites papers on 3D-printed wearables.

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. Biosensors 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 2700 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.
