Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conductive polymers (CPs) have emerged as versatile materials for biosensing applications due to their exceptional electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. By integrating CPs with biological molecules, nanomaterials, and advanced device platforms such as organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), CMOS-based image sensors, Piezoelectric Biosensors and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Sensors significant progress has been made in developing sensitive and reliable biosensors for biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and bioelectronic systems. Recent advancements in fabrication techniques, including micro/nano-fabrication, additive manufacturing, and flexible electronics, have further enhanced the performance, scalability, and application potential of CP-based biosensors. These developments have enabled the creation of wearable, implantable, and point-of-care devices capable of real-time and accurate detection.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research and critical reviews on conductive polymer-based biosensors, including material innovations, signal transduction strategies, and novel device platforms. Topics of interest include the synthesis of novel CPs and hybrid materials, OECT-enabled biosensing, CMOS-based image sensors, Piezoelectric Biosensors, Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Sensors, Electrochemical and Optical transduction mechanisms, and applications in health diagnostics, environmental sensing, and personalized medicine. Contributions addressing challenges such as stability, reproducibility, miniaturization, and commercialization are particularly encouraged, as are forward-looking studies on the future of CP-based biosensor technologies.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
