Micromachined Gas Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced micromachining techniques create opportunities for the development of revolutionary new gas sensors that are small enough for integration into microelectronic systems and instrumentation, more easily deployable in a multitude of sensing applications, and capable of sensing unique aspects of the environment more accurately, safely, and reliably than ever before. Today, micromachined gas sensor systems are being successfully adapted and adopted to create leading-edge technologies that transfer significant benefits of micromachining and integration to the fields of medicine and environmental monitoring. The acceleration of micromachined sensors’ implementation is primarily due to their potential for device miniaturization, low power consumption, better performance, lower cost, and higher reliability. This Special Issue is dedicated to showcase research papers, short communication, and review articles that focus on micromachined gas sensors theoretical foundations, advanced design and use of sensors and sensor arrays, micromachined sensor technologies toward early detection, micromachining and sensor optimization, sensor analytical modeling and design simulations, sensing and structural material selections, practical industrial, environmental and healthcare applications, sensor evaluations and characterizations methods, and advanced micromachined gas sensor fabrication process.

We look forward to seeing your contribution appear in this Special Issue.

Dr. Arezoo Emadi

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
