Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Advances in Mechanoluminescence Materials and Technology”, will address advances in processing, characterization, technology development of mechanoluminescent (ML) materials. As stimuli-responsive materials, ML materials are capable of emitting light under dynamic force/pressure such as pressing, stretching, bending, shaking, peeling, scraping, squeezing, wind blowing, and raindrop impacting. The phenomenon of ML is also called mechanically induced/excited luminescence, piezo-luminescence, or tribo-luminescence. With the rapid development of smart sensing and advanced lighting and display technologies, ML materials have received increasing attention in recent years. The mechanical energy used to excite ML is ubiquitously available in natural objects and living bodies, and the development of ML technology makes it a unique light source to enable advanced sensing, display, energy, and environmental applications.
Original papers are solicited on all types of mechanoluminescence materials and technologies. Of particular interest are recent developments in advanced materials, characterizations, processes, device designs, mechanisms, and applications. Articles and reviews dealing with mechanoluminescence and mechanoluminescent materials/technologies are very welcome as well.

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.
