Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible sensors that efficiently detect various stimuli relevant to specific environmental or biological species have attracted notable research interests due to their great potential for application in Internet of Things and wearable electronics. For the study of flexible sensors, great efforts have been made to further enhance the sensitivity, resolution, and mechanical flexibility of the device in order to achieve real progress regarding customized features. To address these requirements, many new materials, structures, physical effects, and micro/nano manufacturing technologies have been greatly applied.
This Special Issue of Materials aims to cover the most recent advances in the materials, structures, physical mechanisms, and fabrication strategies for designing flexible sensors, and their potential applications in tactile sensing, robotics, security monitoring, artificial intelligence, health care, etc.
Therefore, we invite you to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 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.
