Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, flexible biosensors have become pivotal instruments for real-time, non-invasive health monitoring in various domains, including wearable technology, environmental sensing, and medical diagnostics. The incorporation of nanocomposites into flexible biosensor systems has demonstrated significant promise to improve sensitivity, durability, and adaptability, resulting in devices that are both highly functional and pleasantly worn. This Special Issue seeks to examine recent breakthroughs in nanocomposite materials designed for flexible biosensors, addressing both the foundational ideas and the practical applications that are fostering innovation in this field.
We welcome submissions that explore the synthesis, characterization, and performance assessment of nanocomposites tailored for flexible biosensing applications. Studies focusing on essential materials, such as carbon-based nanostructures, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, and polymer-based nanocomposites, are particularly noteworthy due to their potential to enhance signal sensitivity, mechanical flexibility, and long-term stability. Research that enhances the functional design of flexible biosensors, including integration with wearable platforms, wireless communication systems, and multifunctional sensing, is strongly advocated. This Special Issue invites articles addressing issues in the manufacture and scaling of nanocomposite-based biosensors, along with developing trends in biocompatibility, power efficiency, and user-centric designs. This Special Issue offers a thorough examination of these subjects to direct future advancements and partnerships in nanocomposite-based flexible biosensors, fostering innovative applications that address the needs of personalized healthcare, environmental monitoring, and more.

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. Biosensors 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 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.
