Design and Applications of Novel Chemical Sensors for Environmental and Biological Relevance
This special issue belongs to the section "Cross-Field Chemistry".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical sensors are widely used for the detection and assessment of environmental and biological relevance. This Special Issue will host discussions of the design, development, and application of environmental chemical sensors and biosensors in order to determine environmental and biological relevance. The application of technologies for use in new nano-structured composite materials and their micro-fabrication and micro-chips will play a leading role in the development of such sensors. We welcome articles addressing the rational assembly of dynamic macromolecules, biocomponent stability, DNA-based biosensors, molecular beacons, electronic nose, multianalyte transducers, sensor systems and others technologies as tools for environmental monitoring.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
