Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible electronics have been receiving increasing attention from researchers worldwide. High-performance flexible electronics are in high demand as a result of the expanding range of applications for sensors, energy harvesters, human–machine interfaces, etc. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for publications on progress in this field. It will collate recent investigations on flexible electronic materials and applications and promote the future development of this emerging research field. The scope of this issue includes pressure sensors, temperature sensors, mechanical energy harvesters, bioelectronics, etc. We encourage researchers to submit their latest original research articles, perspectives, or reviews on themes including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advanced materials for flexible electronics and bioelectronics;
- Improvements in structural designs, material properties, and device integration for flexible sensors;
- Technologies and applications of flexible energy harvesting materials;
- Investigation of advanced flexible electronics;
- Advanced technologies for fabricating flexible electronics and applications.
Contributions in the form of full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome.
Dr. Yong Zhang
Guest Editor
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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
