Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the discovery of graphene and its powerful electrical, optical and mechanical properties, extensive studies have been carried out in order to apply these properties to optoelectronic devices as well as in various sensors such as chemical, photodetector and tactile sensors. However, due to the lack of a bandgap, graphene is not able to fully control the off current during the operation of electronic devices. On the other hand, extensive studies conducted on graphene for over a decade have triggered researches to examine van der Waals force-based two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, etc.). Dissimilar to graphene, van der Waals force-based 2D nanomaterials have high charge carrier mobility, a tunable band gap by changing the number of layers, optically transparent properties, excellent magnetic properties, and high piezoelectric properties. These unique van der Waals force-based 2D nanomaterial properties have been utilized in various sensor applications. In this Special Issue, sensor-related applications of not only graphene, but also van der Waals force-based electronic devices (especially sensors), are dealt with based on the principles behind physically layered structures and chemically atomic compositions. In addition, comprehensive research trends concerning these materials are introduced.

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.
