Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decades witnessed tremendous progress in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to the development of novel methods of synthesis and functionalization of various nanoparticles and hybrid materials based on them, a great number of new materials became available for sensing applications.
Exigencies regarding the quality of various materials resulted in a need for highly accurate analytical methods with low detection limits, in a variety of fields. This special issue intends to cover some of the recent advancements in the field of sensors, with an emphasis on optical sensing with newly developed nanomaterials such as, for example, graphene and other carbon-based materials. Advanced sensing methods, for example, by using microfluidic-integrated nanomaterials are also part of the topic of this issue. Also, as a benefit for the authors, readers are more likely to discover work they might not otherwise encounter. Special Issue research articles seem to be more frequently cited than regular ones. I think it is mostly because articles published in Special Issues are related to the latest research trend.

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. 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.
