Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible sensors that efficiently detect various stimuli relevant to specific environmental or biological species have been extensively studied due to their great potential for application in the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics. The application of flexible and stretchable electronics with device-engineering technologies has enabled the fabrication of slender, lightweight, stretchable, and foldable sensors.
Some innovative studies have recently been conducted on sensor materials, structures, and device designs to obtain high-performance flexible sensors. Up to now, some high-performance, low-cost flexible sensors based on new materials and structures have been developed, and advancements have been made in wearable sensors, electronic skin, and other applications. These include pressure sensors for respiratory monitoring, sensors for monitoring body temperature, infrared sensors for medical applications, gas sensors for atmosphere monitoring, and so on. Hence, we invite exceptional scientists and researchers to submit their remarkable results on “Flexible Sensors: From Design to Applications” to help identify the future development directions of flexible sensor devices.
This Special Issue will focus on the recent advances in flexible sensor devices. Additionally, comprehensive review articles are invited to summarize the achievements of each field and provide a deeper understanding of the scientific communities.

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. Sensors 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.
