Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conducting polymers such as polyacetylene, polypyrrole, polyaniline, polycarbazole, polythiophene, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polyphenylene, poly(phenylene vinylene), and polyfluorene have tunable and interesting structural, chemical, and electrical properties and have been widely applied for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors. Through chemical grafting of functional groups or associating with functional materials, conducting polymers can improve the sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility of electrochemical biosensors for delivering diagnostic information and therapy monitoring. These electroanalytical methods include potentiometry, amperometry, conductometry, voltammetry and impedometry. This Special Issue focuses on the preparation of conducting polymers, the immobilization of biological sensing elements onto conducting polymers, the application of conducting polymers in the molecular recognition of bioanalytes, signal amplification, and signal output for the fabrication of electrochemical biosensors

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. Molecules 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 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.
