Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
With the quick progress of technology, requirements for sensors are increasing with advanced sensing performance in various fields, such as life, medical, environmental monitoring, and clinical and scientific biological detection, and the automobile and aerospace industries. In recent years, chemical sensors based on new materials and new technologies have emerged and become important candidates for a new generation of sensors, and are increasingly more attention.
This Special Issue intends to collect original researches and review articles investigating advanced sensing materials applied in the above areas. Studies focusing on emerging materials, methodologies, theoretical simulations, and devices using chemical, electrical, electrochemical, optical, and other forms and combinations of sensing platforms, as well as their key performances and fundamental sensing mechanisms for highly sensitive detection are welcome.
Potential themes include, but are not limited to:
- Novel chemical sensing materials design, synthesis, and characterization;
- Nanomaterials with strengthened sensing properties for trace analytes analysis, such as low detection limit, high sensitivity and selectivity;
- Nanomaterial-based sensor or device fabrication for biological detection;
- Smart, flexible, and wearable devices for chemical sensing applications;
- New applications of advanced nanomaterials for early disease diagnosis applications;
- Theory, modeling, and mechanism of microfluidic-chip-based chemical sensors;
- Reviews of current chemical sensing methods;
- New collection and manipulation methods for chemical 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. 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.
