Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasmonic nanomaterials such as Au and Ag NPs have been widely studied because of their unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the visible and near infrared range. Due to these inherent optical properties, plasmonic nanomaterials lead to light extinction, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and quenched or enhanced fluorescence. The employment of plasmonic nanomaterials in spectral sensing is giving rise to ultrasensitive and rapid methods for biomedical diagnosis, food safety, and environmental monitoring. However, there are still challenges for plasmon-based spectral sensing used in the real-world scene, such as reliability and availability. The purpose of this Special Issue is to showcase recent efforts in the field of plasmonic nanomaterials involved in spectral sensing, including fabrication of novel plasmonic probes and devices, development of innovative sensing strategies, and their applications in biomedical diagnosis, food safety, environmental monitoring, and so on. Original research articles as well as review papers are welcome.

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.
