Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, numerous strategies and technologies for the analysis of different matrices have been proposed because of their importance for the global environment and public health. In this context, the use of sensors has rapidly grown through the development of nanotechnologies, and the increasing need for fast, widespread, on-site, and real time quantification of analytes. It is to be underlined that sensors based on nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention and allow researchers to explore new principles to improve analytical performances. The functionalized nanomaterials are used as catalytic technologies, platforms for immobilization, or optical or electroactive labels to improve the sensing performances with better accuracy, reliability, and selectiveness.
Consequently, the topic of this Special Issue is devoted to the recent advances of the sensors based on nanomaterials in clinical, food, and environmental analysis. In order to give an update of the recent progress in this sensing area in terms of devices, materials, and target molecules, you are invited to submit original research articles, short communications, as well as review-type articles (e.g., comprehensive and critical literature reviews or review studies based on your recent research experience).

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. Sensors 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 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.
