Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics, also known as a micro-total analysis system, has been used in diverse applications, such as mineral processing, chemical synthesis, and tissue engineering. Moreover, 3D printing, formally known as additive manufacturing, serves as an alternative manufacturing method for microfluidic fabrication, due to its ability to produce complex and multi-level geometry. Furthermore, 3D printing has the ability to translate virtual designs into physical prototypes, with the help of computer-assisted modelling and simulations. Moreover, different working units can be introduced to the design to fabricate a microfluidic system with different functionalities. Functionalities such as chemical sensing or mechanical actuation can be incorporated into the system.
The aim of this Special Issue “Novel 3D Printing Techniques for Microfluidic Systems” is to highlight different technologies and strategies that incorporate 3D printing into microfluidic fabrication. Authors are invited to submit their work exploring 3D-printed microfluidic devices, novel techniques in the fabrication of microfluidic systems, simulation models on 3D-printed microfluidic devices through virtual and physical prototyping, integrating 3D-printed parts with microfluidic systems.

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. Chemosensors 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.
