Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Piezoelectric materials, known for their ability to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion and vice versa, have revolutionized various fields of engineering and technology. Today, piezoelectric actuators, motors, and transducers are applied across diverse industries. From precise positioning in nanotechnology to ultrasonic imaging in medical diagnostics, the versatility and efficiency of piezoelectric devices have significantly impacted modern engineering solutions. This Special Issue aims to provide insights into the design considerations, operational mechanisms, and practical implementations of innovative piezoelectric devices.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
