Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based chemical sensors for detecting analytes in gas and liquid environments are very promising for many applications, including environmental monitoring, automotive, medicine, safety, and other purposes in industry and everyday life. In this Special Issue, we would like to focus on chemical sensors, in which polymers are used as the receptor materials or play a key role in sensing. Different kinds of sensors, such as: chemiresistors, chemFETs, electrochemical, optical, and mass-sensitive sensors will be appropriate here. Any types of polymers including conventional polymers, conductive polymers, biopolymers, and their composites will be considered. Investigations on functionalization methods, which lead to the improvement of sensing properties of polymeric receptor materials, are highly desirable. All analytical works on the sensing mechanisms of polymer-based chemosensors are also welcome. Both original research papers and review articles will be considered for publication.
The areas of particular interest to this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Novel concepts of polymer-based gas sensors and other kinds of chemical sensors;
- Novel polymer materials for chemical sensing;
- New fabrication and integration methods of polymer-based chemosensors;
- Functionalization of polymer materials for the purpose of sensing;
- Biosensors based on chemical reactions between analyte and polymer receptors;
- Composite receptor structures where polymers play a key role in sensing;
- Applications of polymer-based chemosensors;
- Sensing mechanisms and operating principles of polymer-based chemosensors.
This topic fits many points of the scope of Chemosensors journal, including: electrochemical devices and sensors; optical chemical sensors; mass-sensitive sensors; field-effect transistor sensors; materials for chemical sensing; gas sensors; pH sensors, humidity sensors; and more.

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 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.
