Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are typically constructed from a diverse range of functional materials to facilitate assay and ensure the requisite standards of reproducibility, biocompatibility, sensitivity, selectivity, and affordability are met.
These functional materials constitute a category of engineered and advanced materials designed and synthesized for specific purposes, with unique surface structures and tailored physico-chemical properties, playing, therefore, a key role in enhancing the performance of biosensors.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to supply a platform for publishing original high-quality research papers and comprehensive reviews related to the design, synthesis, and characterization of advanced functional materials and their application in biosensing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biosensors;
- Advanced functional materials for biosensors;
- Bioassays development;
- Inorganic functional materials for biosensing;
- Organic functional materials for biosensing;
- Nanocomposite-based functional materials for biosensors;
- Sustainable nature-based functional materials;
- Nanomaterials and nanostructures;
- Polymers;
- Biomolecular compounds.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
