Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to invite you to contribute a paper to this Special Issue, titled “Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Based Sensors”, in Polymers. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based sensors combine the selectivity recognition property of the MIP and the sensitive detection property of traditional detection methods, such as electrochemical sensors and fluorescent sensors. These can overcome many limitations of traditional detection methods and provide opportunities for efficient, sensitive, and low-cost detection using smart miniaturized equipment. With highly specific molecular recognition capacity and high stability in harsh chemical and physical conditions, MIPs have been used in sensing platforms such as electrochemical, optical, and mass-sensitive sensors as promising alternatives to bio-receptors for food analysis. MIP-based sensors have been widely used in environmental pollutants, food additives, and drug detection. This Special Issue of Polymers provides a collection of high-quality full research papers, communications, and critical reviews covering both applied and fundamental aspects of molecularly imprinted polymer-based sensors.

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.
