Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymer-based sensors, constructed of polymeric materials, are designed to detect a variety of signals, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, and chemical species. In recent years, these types of sensors have shown great promise due to their versatility, low cost, mechanical compliance, and facile fabrication. Emerging studies in the field have focused on improving the sensitivity, selectivity, biocompatibility, and stability of polymer-based sensors, and developing new types of polymers and sensor architectures. The continued development of polymer-based sensors has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industrial applications.
We invite submissions of original research articles on polymer-based sensors that utilize unique micro-/nano-structures, functional materials, and novel fabrication techniques to create sensors with enhanced performance. We are also interested in studies that demonstrate practical applications, such as robotics, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and security.

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.
