Nanomaterials in Chemosensors and Biosensors: Development and Application (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of engineered nanomaterials has enabled novel applications in numerous fields, including healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, construction, automotive, etc. The large surface-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials is well suited to targeted functionalization and sensing. Chemosensors’ and biosensors’ specificity and sensitivity can be tailored via changes in the engineering nanomaterial shape, size, composition and surface chemistry. Nanomaterial biosensors have applications in healthcare diagnostics, food freshness retention, bioprocessing, etc. Materials falling under this category, including metals, metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, 2D materials, polymers, proteins and nanocomposites, can have varied compositions. Chemosensors can be used to detect gases and liquids for applications in environmental protection, industrial automation and safety. This Special Issue covers all aspects of such materials, ranging from theoretical considerations explaining the working principles of materials to their synthesis, characterization and application.

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. Chemosensors 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 2000 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.
