Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design of hybrid nanostructured materials for building innovative bioelectronic interfaces is experiencing a growing amount of interest and is expected to pave the way for otherwise inaccessible applications of biochemical sensing. On one hand, the synergistic effect originating from organic/inorganic hybrid materials greatly improves the compatibility and interplay of electronic components interfaced with biological entities and tissues. On the other hand, the introduction of hybrid nanocomposites plays a key role in enhancing sensing performances and obtaining new composite functionalities.
This Special Issue is focused on novel approaches targeting the detection of biologically relevant biomarkers, as well as live-cell monitoring, involving the transduction of specific biochemical events. Research papers and reviews discussing cutting-edge strategies in hybrid materials and bioelectronic sensor design for biochemical sensing are all welcome. Potential topics cover the application of polymeric nano-blends, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS), nanocomposite gels, as well as materials incorporating metal nanostructures, C-based nanomaterials, and biorecognition elements.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
