Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the first volume of the Special Issue entitled "Conjugated Polymers-Based Biosensors for Virus Detection", we are pleased to announce a new edition, entitled "Polymers-Based Biosensors and Bioelectronics: Designs and Applications". This Special Issue will continue to explore the innovative use of polymer materials in the development of biosensors and bioelectronic devices.
As the need for sensitive and selective detection methods grows in fields such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety, polymers have become indispensable materials. Their unique properties—such as flexibility, biocompatibility, and ease of functionalization—make them highly suitable for these applications.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advancements in the design, fabrication, and application of polymer-based biosensors and bioelectronic systems. We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and short communications addressing a range of topics, including novel polymeric materials, integration techniques, sensing mechanisms, and practical applications in diagnostics and monitoring.
By gathering diverse contributions from researchers and industry experts, we aim to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange in this rapidly evolving field. We believe that this Special Issue will be a valuable resource for scientists and engineers working at the intersection of polymer science, biosensing technology, and bioelectronics, ultimately contributing to the advancement of next-generation sensing solutions.

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 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.
