Screen-Printed Electrodes

Dear Colleagues,

Screen-printed electrodes are, nowadays, a very well-stablished approach to be used as transducers for the development of chemical sensors and biosensors for electrochemical purposes, due to their disposable character and simple, rapid and low-cost production.

Screen-printed based electrodes have a great capability to by modified; these modifications, not only consider metal film formation, but also the incorporation of nanomaterials or (bio)molecules. This versatility, together with their miniaturized size and the possibility to be connected to portable instrumentation make them very appropriate for on-site determination of target analytes, not only in environmental monitoring, but also in food, agricultural and biomedical analysis.

The relevance of these screen-printed electrodes and the great number of researches that are, nowadays, using this technology for the development of new sensors justify the publication of a Special Issue devoted to screen-printed electrodes, in which works describing novel sensors based on screen-printing technology, multi-sensor arrays based on screen-printed electrodes and their related applications in environmental monitoring, agri-food control and biomedical analysis are welcome, as well as contributions illustrating the applicability of screen-printed electrodes in electrochemical detection.

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. 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.
