Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the dynamic intersection of applied electronics and functional materials, presenting an interdisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners. Research focuses on the integration of electronic components, the use of microcontrollers and other microcircuits, and the development of program algorithms and program code. The research focus is on advanced functional materials to highlight state-of-the-art achievements, innovative methodologies, and practical applications in various fields such as optoelectronics, sensors, energy harvesting and wearable technologies, surface protection, etc. This publication aims to provide a synergistic relationship between electronics and functional materials, where we aim to catalyze new solutions to urgent challenges while promoting the cooperation and exchange of knowledge among experts in the field.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
