Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relentless research in nanomaterials is expanding almost every field of science. Biosensing is not an exception, and a multitude of papers have been published on this topic, focusing on the improved analytical performances of the resulting brand-new sensors based on these nanomaterials. Many authors have highlighted the role of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles, nanostructured polymers, and carbon nanomaterials in the enhancement of the sensitivity and limit of detection. Interestingly, the synergistic effect that these nanomaterials provide to biological recognition elements such as enzymes has also attracted attention. On the other hand, other nanostructured materials have entirely replaced these biological species, bringing selectivity and avoiding the main demerits of enzyme-based biosensors. This Special Issue aims to collect novel and interesting new approaches of nanomaterials being applied in the biosensing field. Importantly, due to new research paths, not only will biosensors be considered, but also nanomaterials-based sensors that may compete with the classical idea of 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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
