Recent Advances of Nanomaterials for Biosensors

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, significant advancements have been witnessed in the material design for chemical sensing and biosensing. On the one hand, material chemists have developed innovative synthetic methods by understanding the structure-property of materials at molecular level. A wide variety of nanostructures such as nanosheets, nanodots, nanotubes, nanowires, nanoarrays, nanoribbons, and core-shell nanostructures have been reported. On the other hand, analytical chemists have developed a variety of engineering designs that have the potential to transform conventional centralized laboratory-based assays into decentralized, mobile point-of-care (POC) devices. Notable among them are paper-based devices, microfluidics, smartphone integration, multiplexed sensors, microneedles, magnetic skins, and wearable sensors. In terms of materials, two-dimensional layered materials, metal-organic frameworks, perovskites, carbon dots, quantum dots and ternary metal/metal oxides are some of the key players. Overall, material science and sensing technology have made significant progress individually, which ultimately enhances the biosensor outcome collectively. This Special Issue, entitled “Recent Advances of Nanomaterials for Chemical Sensors and Biosensors”, aims to collect original articles and reviews on the latest developments of nanomaterials focused on chemical sensors and biosensors.

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-anonymized 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.
