Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With rapidly developing water monitoring technology, the traditional water analysis methods (e.g., gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)) have been shifting towards smart water monitoring based on the 4th industrial revolution via microsensor technology with a focus on minimizing the costs of fabrication, fabricating new materials for improving sensor sensitivity, controlling sensor operation remotely, and extending information technology (IT) for big data and machine learning. Expansion of the sensor technology for multi-application (e.g., water quality sensors for phosphate, VOC, sulfide and chloramine, emerging contaminants, heavy metal, and free chlorine analysis; biosensors for pathogenetic bacteria, algal bloom and bacteria community; and hydroxylamine sensors for nitrogen cycling), and for portable device platforms using universal wireless electrochemical detector (UWED) technology for field applications are needed for further research.
The aim of this Special Issue is to cover microsensor applications in water monitoring via sensor fabrication, chemistry, biotechnology, public health, and environmental monitoring. We invite full research papers, review articles and communications covering related topics included in the keywords below. We would like to collect up-to-date research from emerging investigators and pioneers and a collection of comprehensive reviews from leading experts in the field.

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. 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.
