Advances in Carbon-Based Nanomaterials for (Bio)Sensor Development

Dear Colleagues,

Carbon-based nanomaterials have been key building blocks of sensors and biosensors regardless of the type of the designed devices: electrochemical, chemical, optical, mechanical, biological, thermal. As a consequence of constant improvements in synthesis, characterization techniques, and in controlling physicochemical properties, novel advanced functional and tailored carbon-based nanomaterials are being created, tested, and used in the sensors and biosensors field. Therefore, they are becoming the driving force for cutting-edge signal transduction schemes and (bio)analytical platforms. Potential and real applications are countless and include extremely sensitive real-time in loco and in vivo assays.

Therefore, the goal of this Special Issue is to gather and disseminate contributions of original research results, review articles, communications, and short notes that address novel (experimental or theoretical) advances, challenges, trends, and future perspectives in the development and application of carbon-based nanomaterials within the field of 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 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. 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.
