Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensing environmental, physical, and human physiological interactions is essential in modern life. This issue aims to bridge advances in the field of chemistry sensors and chemistry interactive materials (CIM) with RF wireless transmission, enabling the transfer of sensed data. Among the various wireless transmission technologies available, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is considered the most efficient and cost-effective candidate. Building on this foundation, novel RFID sensors enhanced by CIM can be developed. Hence, specially designed chemistry substrates or superstrates can drive the evolution of RFID sensors to meet market demands. This has the potential to disrupt existing sensor industries and introduce entirely new and innovative 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. 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.
