Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combines nanotechnology with conventional Raman spectroscopy to afford an ultrasensitive and highly specific analytical tool that has been exploited as the optical signal readout in a variety of physical and chemical applications. The SERS effect primarily relies on the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances at the surface of nanostructured plasmonic materials. Thus, progresses in the precise design and fabrication of plasmonic substrates with tailored morphologies, high and reproducible enhancing performances and, when applicable, multifunctional features have been major driving forces in boosting the technological advances and applications of SERS spectroscopy. The successful translation of the analytical potential of SERS into viable commercial devices is also dependent on the ability to produce excellent plasmonic substrates at a large scale and in a cost-effective fashion.
This Special Issue focuses on presenting and discussing the most recent technological advances in the design of plasmonic nanomaterials, such as SERS substrates, for their application in diverse fields such as biosensing, environmental monitoring and catalysis.
We kindly invite all experts in the field to submit their manuscripts to be considered for publication. Original research papers, both experimental and theoretical, as well as review articles are welcome.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
