The rise of photonics technologies has driven an extremely fast evolution in biosensing applications. Such rapid progress has created a gap of understanding and insight capability in the general public about advanced sensing systems that have been made progressively available by these new technologies. Thus, there is currently a clear need for moving the meaning of some keywords, such as plasmonic, into the daily vocabulary of a general audience with a reasonable degree of education. The selection of the scientific works reported in this book is carefully balanced between reviews and research papers and has the purpose of presenting a set of applications and case studies sufficiently broad enough to enlighten the reader attention toward the great potential of plasmonic biosensing and the great impact that can be expected in the near future for supporting disease screening and stratification.

Technology: general issues --- History of engineering & technology --- gold nanorods --- silica coating --- localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) --- surface functionalization --- SPR biosensor --- enzyme --- laccase --- chlorophene --- emerging pollutant --- water sample --- plasmonic nanowires --- molecular sensing --- surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy --- porous alumina --- TREM2 sensors --- Alzheimer’s disease --- plasmonic interferometry --- optical biosensor --- surface plasmon resonance --- olfactory sensors --- electronic noses --- volatile organic compounds --- odorants --- SPR --- cell-based assay --- viral growth kinetics --- human coronavirus --- hydroxychloroquine --- protease --- caspase --- avidin-biotin interaction --- biosensors --- AuNPs --- metal–graphene hybrid --- simulations --- Mie theory --- African swine fever virus (ASFV) --- loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) --- surface plasmon resonance (SPR) --- fluorescence detection --- SERS analysis --- plasmonic metal nanoparticles --- hotspots --- hybrid materials

This Special Issue “Characterization of Nanomaterials” collects nine selected papers presented at the 6th Dresden Nanoanalysis Symposium, held at Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems in Dresden, Germany, on 31 August 2018. Following the specific motto of this annual symposium “Materials challenges—Micro- and nanoscale characterization”, it covered various topics of nanoscale materials characterization along the whole value and innovation chain, from fundamental research up to industrial applications. The scope of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current status, recent developments and research activities in the field of nanoscale materials characterization, with a particular emphasis on future scenarios. Primarily, analytical techniques for the characterization of thin films and nanostructures are discussed, including modeling and simulation. We anticipate that this Special Issue will be accessible to a wide audience, as it explores not only methodical aspects of nanoscale materials characterization, but also materials synthesis, fabrication of devices and applications.
