Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The main goal of this Special Issue is to offer young researchers an opportunity to spread their research results through an open access platform in which they can report their recent achievements in terms of novel material development and processes and novel devices and system concepts in the field of flexible electronics.

Flexible electronics is a wide research field focused on the development of novel materials, devices, and systems that has attracted considerable attention in recent years as it is considered an enabling technology for the development of smart interconnected systems.

Indeed, highly flexible sensing systems can be integrated, at low cost, on common objects, usually employed in our daily life, from wearables to furniture, allowing for the development of new smart intercommunicating environments such as smart health, smart home, smart cities, etc.

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. Electronics 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.

Piezoresistive structures inspired by serpentines, auxetic, and kirigami arrangements have demonstrated good flexibility and sensitivity under tension. Piezoresistive structures display optimal performance when the characteristics entail reliable stretchability and repeatability. These structures can be implemented as wearable sensors by compressing and elongating the conductive nanocomposites to vary the flow of electrons and to provide resistance change. To guarantee the reliability of these structures for strain sensing, it is important that the resistance change in these structures remains constant under repeated loads. In this study, the performance of different piezoresistive structures under cyclic tensile load is investigated and compared. Based on the performance of different types of structures, novel hybrid structures have been also proposed to design for both high stretchability and sensitivity of piezoresistive sensors. All the structures were tested with position limits rather than a fixed force to avoid permanent deformation. First, small position limits were used to determine Young’s Modulus, then a 10-cycle tensile test with larger position limits was used to further study the electromechanical behavior of different piezoresistive structures under larger deformation and repetition. Finally, the gage factor was derived for all the studied structures, and they were re-categorized based on properties’ similarities. Full article
