Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sensing of small molecules and ions is an important research topic. Diverse natural contaminants, vapors, drugs and industrial semi-products require the development of simple, fast and low energy-demanding detection procedures. Solid-state sensors, insoluble in working media, are attractive for real applications due to their recyclability and the more reproducible responses provided by their structural stability and by the purposeful design of the sample’s functionality, texture and morphology.
The synthesis of functional organic polymers and inorganic–organic polymeric hybrids (e.g. coordination polymers) has demonstrated significant development in recent years. Doping of polymeric filler matrices by low molecular particles is also a powerful tool in the design of functional solids. These approaches, each with their own advantages and requirements, reveal great applications in the preparation and investigation of omnifarious sensors.
The Special Issue aims to cover the latest achievements and discussions concerning the synthesis, characterization and application of polymeric sensors with any type of sensing response, e.g. optical, luminescent, conductive, magnetic and other responses. Studies of the structure, morphology, stability and applicability limitations of polymeric sensors, as well as the application of advanced characterization techniques, also fit the scope of the Special Issue.

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. Polymers 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.
