Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ion-conducting hydrogels and ionogels are highly desirable as the key components of stretchable soft electronics, ranging from artificial skins to wearable flexible biosensors and batteries, energy harvesters, soft robotics, and human–machine interaction. Compared with these state-of-the-art counterparts that suffer from inevitable evaporation, freezing and leakage issues of liquid-phase solid-state conductive ionoelastomers that are fabricated by the fusion of dry polymer and ions without a liquid phase are capable of fundamentally resolving these issues and have evolved as an ideal candidate to propel the rapid development of stretchable soft electronics. Over the past few years, extensive achievements of stretchable soft electronics, from design and manufacturing to advanced applications, have been made. However, the demand for high-quality solid-state conductive ionoelastomers equipped with excellent and robust mechanical properties, high ionic conductivity, fast self-healing ability, scalable production, and even 3D printing manufacturing is ever increasing. Therefore, this Special Issue, titled "Advances in Solid-State Conductive Ionoelastomer Based Biosensors”, focuses on the recent advances in the design principle and fabircation methods of solid-state conductive ionoelastomers, as well as their promising applications in flexible intelligent biosensros. We invite submissions of researches that help to advance the field of stretchable electronics and beyond.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
