Polymers and Biomaterials Based Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

With the recent advancement of nanomaterials and nanostructured materials, sensor performance has been greatly improved. Polymers and biomaterials-based sensors have especially been widely applied due to their biocompatibility and optical, electrochemical, and physical properties. Better selectivity and high sensitivity measurements have been achieved by replacing classical sensor materials with polymers and biomaterials involving nanotechnology.

This Special Issue, entitled “Polymers and Biomaterials-Based Sensors”, mainly focuses on the applications of polymers and biomaterials to sensors. The aim of this Special Issue is to report high-sensitivity sensors using new materials or new research on known materials. This may include such research areas as the practical application using various analysis methods (electrochemical and SERS, LSPR, etc.) for medical diagnostic, food safety, and environmental monitoring.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Original research manuscripts and reviews are welcome.

Dr. Jinsung Park
Guest Editor

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
