Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the use of nanomaterials has played an important role in many areas, from electronics to medicine, via complex systems and the IoT. Theoretical studies have shown how the properties of nanomaterials can be determined at the design stage and according to different application areas.
These characteristics make these materials increasingly used on an industrial level, and their properties are starting to be outlined through international standards such as ASTM and ISO. In particular, nanomaterials in sensing and measurement technologies are used in both real-time and continuous monitoring applications. In this regard, artificial intelligence has made it possible to integrate these systems, collecting a large amount of useful data and creating cooperative algorithms to predict critical situations.
This Special Issue aims to cover the field of application of nanomaterials in sensing and measurement technology, creating a collection of articles dealing with their use in wearable systems, structural health monitoring, energy harvesting and other fields of nanotechnology where single sensors or sensor arrays can be used.
We welcome your participation in this Special Issue.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 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.
