Nanomaterial-Based Biosensors and Their Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Biosensor Materials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have today become one of the most popular research subjects for biosensing systems due to improving physical, chemical, thermal, optical, magnetic, plasmonic, and catalytic characteristics. These characteristics of nanomaterials can be controlled to develop novel and high-performance devices, sensors, and systems by adjusting the size and structure of nanomaterials. Owing to their ability to speed up signal transduction and improve the sensitivity of nanosensors by enhancing catalytic activity, conductivity, and biocompatibility, nanomaterials are used in the design of nanosensors and biosensors, etc. In light of this knowledge, different types of nanobiosensing systems have been developed using different methods, such as electrochemical, optical, etc. Therefore, this Special Issue on “Nanomaterial-Based Biosensors and Their Applications” welcomes submissions on recent advances in nanomaterial-based biosensors research and their applications in the detection of various species, such as drugs, pesticides, biologically important compounds, etc. We invite you all to share with us recent research in the field of nanomaterial-based biosensors.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 2200 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.
