Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because of their great sensitivity, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors have been actively investigated as a sensing mechanism for chemical and biological molecules in recent years. On the other hand, the utilization of nanostructures and advances in thin film production processes have permitted the development of more sensitive sensing devices that can be multiplexed. The unique optical and electrical characteristics of nanomaterials and dielectric films have enabled the progress of applications such as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Furthermore, lithographic patterning of nanopatterned structures has resulted in high spatial resolution surface structures, while improving system sensitivity. In this Special Issue, we would like to compile the most recent theoretical and experimental research results related to this measurement principle, sensing formats, fabrication techniques, integration with artificial intelligence, optimization, and applications of surface plasmon sensors in industrial situations.
Therefore, we invite you to submit original research or review articles for this Special Issue, with emphasis on the most recent advances in SPR, or LSPR-based chemosensors, and their applications to the examination of chemical and biological samples.

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.
