Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the easy modification of their chemical properties and the ability to fine-tune their reactivity, biocompatibility, flexibility, and resistance to degradation, polymeric materials make it possible to create microarrays with high stability, wide linear detection ranges, more-efficient electron transfer, short analysis time, and high specificity towards the target analyte. The combination of polymers and highly conductive nanomaterials ensures the special electrical and catalytic properties of the new material. Sensing strategies in polymer applications include their direct participation in the sensing mechanism or the immobilization of specific receptors. The Special Issue will disseminate research on recent developments in innovative fabrication methods, the sensing performance of new devices, and the mechanism of synergistic effect of the polymer composites’ components.

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. Polymers 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.
