Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of controlling the molecular architecture at the electrode/electrolyte interface in order to design sensors has been an active area of research for many decades. Today, virtually all electrochemical sensing interfaces undergo modification(s) of some kind as a means to induce selectivity, improve sensitivity and eliminate interference. Electrodes that are prepared by immobilizing selected chemistries to endow the electrode with the desired sensing properties, for example, chemical, electrochemical, enhanced transport, are known as chemically modified electrodes (CMEs). Since the emergence of CMEs, the field of electroanalysis has moved from traditional studies confined to inert electrode materials (such as bare C, Au, Hg, and Pt) at the electrode interface to a hugely diverse range of interface compositions being used in applied research today. CMEs are the analytical workhorse of choice when rapid and on-site analysis is demanded in medical diagnostics and food safety, for environmental protection, process control, wastewater treatment, energy storage, and life sciences discovery research, among many others. Current research today focuses on developing CMEs for sensor platforms for specific analytes in these application fields and addresses challenges that need to be solved before viable commercial products can be designed.
This article will outline some specific recent highlights in terms of the functional chemical materials in CMEs and discuss how they have helped to address important challenges in chemical sensing applications.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
