Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, advances in wearable sensors have actuated the evolution of not only personalized healthcare but also IoT applications. The barriers to practical application and usage of wearable sensors began being leveraged by the developments of deformable materials and technologies, especially manufacturing at the micro and nano-scales. However, unlike solid-state sensors, most deformable sensors, particularly stretchable ones, are yet incorporable to a broad range of advances in microelectromechanical (MEMS) that are crucial to unleash their full potential for advanced sensing devices and systems. Accordingly, this Special Issue welcomes all researchers to share breakthrough ideas and studies – including original papers and review articles – on the developments of wearable materials and technologies, including process optimization, quality assurance approaches and metrology.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
