Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing popularity of health monitoring is driven by an increasingly health-conscious society. An ideal sensor is characterized by a superior detection range, high sensitivity, selectivity, resolution, reproducibility, repeatability, and a quick response time. Recently, biosensors incorporating nanomaterials have become highly popular due to their exceptional applications across various scientific and technological fields. Nanomaterials bridge the nanoscale gap between the converter and bioreceptor in biosensors. These features have led to the development of highly sensitive biosensors with excellent decomposition capabilities.
For instance, nanomaterial biowaste is both abundant and possesses interesting physical and chemical properties. More importantly, they are biocompatible and biodegradable, making them ideal for applications in biosensing, wastewater treatment, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and flexible electronics. Material engineering allows the chemical modification of these nanomaterials to enhance the properties needed for smart electronic biosensing and diagnosis applications.
The anticipated outcomes of this special issue could help shape the health industry and improve patient well-being. We will seek to create opportunities where traditional knowledge and modern science converge to drive innovations in biosensing.

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.
