Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based electrochemical sensors are an attractive tool in modern electroanalysis. The great variety of conductive and non-conductive polymers have been shown as sensitive and selective materials for the creation of novel electrochemical sensors. Various methods of polymer synthesis and immobilization on the electrode surface make it possible to obtain the best response of the target analyte in each case. Both chemical and electrochemical synthesis of polymers is of interest, although electrochemical polymerization involves minimal use of additional chemical reagents and volatile organic solvents that agree with the “green chemistry” concept. Traditional or screen-printed carbon-based electrodes with immobilized polymeric coverage coupled with appropriate electrochemical techniques are applicable in the analysis of complex samples such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, biological fluids, environmental samples, etc. Sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers are also of interest due to the extra selectivity to the target analyte, making its quantification easier in the presence of structurally related compounds, which usually takes place in complex matrices.
The current Special Issue will cover state-of-the-art developments in polymer-based electrochemical sensors. Both research papers and review articles will be considered. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design of polymer-based electrodes, including polymer nanocomposites;
- MIP-based electrochemical sensors for various types of analytes;
- Analytical application of polymer-based electrochemical sensors.

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. Sensors 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.
