Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to articles on the application of various nanomaterials in biosensor design. Significant attention will be given to nanomaterials that improve charge transfer and are applied in the design of enzymatic biosensors. Some nanomaterials can play the role of redox mediators or even be involved in direct charge transfer. Articles that report application of conducting polymers, gold nanoparticles, various carbon-based nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene, reduced graphene, nanodiamond, etc.) and semiconducting metal oxides such as TiO2, ZnO, WO3, V2O5, and many others are invited. Research addressing development of immunosensors based on nanomaterials and/or nanotechnological approaches applied for site-directed immobilization of antibodies are also welcome to this Special Issue. DNA sensors and sensors based on DNA aptamers will also be accepted.
Prof. Dr. Arunas Ramanavicius
Guest Editor
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. Materials 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.

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.
