Nanostructures and Nanocomposites for Sensing Application: Biological, Food, and Environmental Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The study of various nanostructures and nanocomposites for sensing applications has received a tremendous amount of attention from the scientific community in recent years. The incorporation of different nanomaterials with various types of sensors (including biosensors, chemical sensors, physical sensors, and optical sensors) can enhance sensing performance in terms of sensitivity and detection limits. Nanomaterials-based sensors can be applied to various fields, ranging from medical diagnosis to environmental monitoring.

This Special Issue will cover various topics, ranging from synthesis and characterization to sensing application of various types of nanostructures, nanomaterials. or nanocomposites. The Special Issue will cover, but not be limited to, the following sensing applications:

• Biochemical substances;
• Virus or bacteria;
• Medical diagnosis;
• Biomedicine;
• Environmental pollutants;
• Ions;
• Biomolecules;
• Organic compounds.

Biosensors, chemical sensors, physical sensors, and optical sensors based on different types of nanomaterials are welcomed.

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.
