Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Professor Sberveglieri is a leading scholar in applied physics and the development of functional materials and their applications. He started his career in the 1970s working in the field of thin film solar cells, afterwards moving to the field of gas sensors. He first focused on the development of thin film techniques and then on nanowire technology to develop functional metal oxide layers. His activity addressed both the study of synthesis techniques to control and optimize material structures at the micro and nanoscale in order to optimize the receptor and transductor functions of sensors. He also focused on the exploitation of these devices and electronic nose systems in different applicative fields, including environmental monitoring, medicine, food quality, safety and security.
Working in the field of gas sensors, in 1988, he founded the SENSOR laboratory (http://sensor.ing.unibs.it/). In 1994, he was appointed as a Full Professor in Experimental Physics of the Matter. During his 50 years of scientific activity, he published more than 600 papers and served as a chairman at many different international conferences. In the beginning of February 2018, he was honored with a Prof. Emeritus position for his valuable contributions to the university and the careers of many different young scientists and scholars.
We dedicate this Special Issue to celebrating the outstanding career of Professor Sberveglieri. In the last five decades, many of us were fortunate to study, work and collaborate with him, witnessing his diligence and highly original approach to research, as well as his passion and devotion to education and professional service, very much enjoying his pleasant personality and friendship. We expect this Special Issue to be a much needed celebration of the contribution of Prof. Sberveglieri to the fields of materials and sensors, and we hope that the contributions to this Special Issue will inspire young researchers and scholars to continue innovations in the field of novel sensors.

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. 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 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
