Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrospinning is considered a low-cost, simple, and feasible method. This technique has attracted a great deal of attention due to its capacity to prepare functional nanofiber materials that can be widely used in many fields, especially the fabrications functional polymers. Polymers—functional materials in stretchable sensors—have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent flexibility and stretchability. Many polymers have been found to possess good conductivity and piezoelectric sensing properties. Due to their innate characteristics, academics have conducted in-depth research on more well-known synthetic polymers and applied their findings to sensing applications, including strain/pressure sensors, piezoelectric sensors, optical sensors, gas sensors, etc. Significant efforts have been made in designing micro, flexible, and self-powered wearable sensors. However, developing a single-chip medical device consisting of multifunctional soft sensors, scalable interconnections, wireless communication systems, and sustainable power sources that can connect to the skin remains a major challenge.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest breakthroughs in the field of functional polymers fabricated by electrospinning, which are particularly relevant to emerging and pioneering devices. Articles should focus on advanced polymer materials, unique electrospinning combined synthesis technologies, or flexible electronic integration methods.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
