Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impressive progress of nanoplasmonics observed in the past few decades has enabled a number of new applications, sensorics being among the most successful ones. Within this short period of time, what was a conceptual idea has found a way to practical realization and reached the market. Currently, the continuous efforts to improve sensors’ characteristics, such as sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and the need to detect other properties of the analyte, such as its chirality, have led to the development of new sensing materials and new functionalization and sensing approaches.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather original research papers and review articles covering recent achievements in this fast-growing field. Special attention will be paid to new nanostructures, fabrication methods, multiplexing techniques, hybrid systems, and chiral (bio)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.
