Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials, including carbon nanomaterials, metal nanomaterials, silica nanoparticles, quantum dots, polymeric-based materials, and other functionalized nanoparticles, have attracted the extensive attention of scientists in view of their unique chemical, physical and size properties. They have provided great contributions to the development of biosensors and diagnosis over the past few decades. The ability to tailor the structure and therefore the properties of nanomaterials enables for desirable surface properties, crystallographic orientations, and biological activities, and this allows for the fabrication of novel application platforms for biosensing and diagnosis by improving performance. So far, various nanomaterial-based techniques on account of electrochemistry, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance, and colorimetric analysis have been developed. Nevertheless, fully satisfying the continued growing demand for application platforms that have the advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, and convenient operation is still a challenge, especially for industry requirements with high-performance fabrication technology. It is believed that multidisciplinary collaborations will remain the focus for the future development of biosensing and diagnosis applications, which will further stimulate research interest from academia and industry. Accordingly, this Special Issue is devoted to a collection of significant advances on innovative research in the fabrication of different types of nanomaterial-based biosensors and diagnosis applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
