Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, polymer-based sensor technology has been evolving very rapidly, and it is expanding to various fields of analytical chemistry. Many challenging problems could be solved through the application of polymeric structures in sensor design. Different nanotechnological approaches and a variety of nanomaterials, polymer nanocomposites, and molecularly imprinted polymers could be particularly suitable for the development of various analyte-recognizing parts of sensors and become extremely important in sensor and biosensor technology.
The aim of this Special Issue of Polymers is to give readers an overview of innovative polymer-based techniques in this rapidly evolving field. Both original research papers and review papers relating to the synthesis, preparation, and application of polymer-based sensors are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Arunas Ramanavicius

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. 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.
