Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, biosensors have been employed extensively in a wide range of applications, such as the management of industrial processes, the military, the monitoring of the environment, health care, microbiology, and the control of food quality. Because biosensors have intrinsic benefits such as simplicity of use, scalability, and a straightforward manufacturing process, there is significant room for expansion regarding the use of these biosensors. Within the realm of contemporary medicine, biosensor technology is becoming more widespread as a significant, low-cost, and enhanced technology.
Nanoparticles are incorporated into nanocomposites, which are combinations of materials and phases. The large surface area, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity of nanocomposites have enhanced the performance of sensors, creating a stable and suitable biosensor family. Nanocomposites have been utilized in this domain to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of sensors or create fast-responding biosensors. Nanocomposites comprising graphene, metal oxides, and carbon nanotubes are often used, as these materials provide benefits regarding biosensing.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research articles or reviews that highlight recent advancements in the field of nanocomposites and biosensing.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
