Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the deep integration of nanotechnology and optical fiber sensing, functional material-enhanced fiber-optic chemical sensors have demonstrated revolutionary breakthroughs in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and real-time detection. This Special Issue focuses on this cross-disciplinary field, aiming to collect innovative research on the combination of functional materials (such as precious metal nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, metal–organic framework (MOF) materials, etc.) and fiber-optic sensing structures (such as fiber Bragg gratings, photonic crystal fibers, surface plasmon resonance fibers, etc.) and promote their applications in fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
Submissions are now open. Review articles and original research papers will be accepted, covering but not limited to the following aspects:
- Innovative fiber-optic sensor design;
- New optical detection mechanisms and technologies;
- New detection targets and application fields;
- Application of artificial intelligence in fiber-optic chemical sensing.

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. 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.
