Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel polymers have been widely applied in the field of sensors. These polymers also exhibit exceptional properties, including high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, making them ideal candidates for various sensing applications. They can effectively detect a wide range of analytes, such as gases, chemicals, and biomolecules, enabling their use in many industries. The incorporation of functional groups and nanomaterials into the polymer matrix further enhances their sensing performance. Recent advancements in the design and synthesis of novel polymers have led to the development of highly efficient and versatile sensing platforms.
This Special Issue focuses on the field of novel polymers in sensors, discussing their potential applications in industries, such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, and food safety. Moreover, it emphasizes the ongoing research efforts aimed at improving their performance and applications in the future.

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. Polymers 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 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.
