Bioinspired Chemical Sensors and Micro-Nano Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Biological smell and taste systems can recognize the specific chemical signals presented by various odorants and taste substances with extremely high performance that cannot be achieved by current artificial devices. With the rapid advancement in micro/nano-technologies and olfactory/taste signal transduction mechanisms, bioinspired smell and taste sensors have been increasingly recognized as promising candidates for the development of the next generation of chemical sensors. Significant progress has been achieved due to the utilization of novel micro/nano devices, biological/nano materials, and configurations, which allowed for the huge improvement in chemical sensing performances. In this Special Issue, we would like to collect and discuss the most recent developments and applications of bioinspired smell and taste sensors. We would like to invite reviews and research articles related, but not limited to, the following topics: mammalian olfactory and taste system; bioinspired smell- and taste-based biosensors; electronic noses and electronic tongues; in-vivo chemical sensing systems; micro/nano devices for chemical sensing; and gas sensors with biological/nano materials.

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.
