Dear Colleagues,

Transducers are devices which convert one form of energy or physical attribute into another for purposes such as measurement or information transfer. Basically, there are three kinds of transducers. The sensor is used to detect a parameter in one form of energy and report it in another form. The actuator is used to transform energy, generally from electrical into nonelectrical energy or vice versa. The third kind of transducer has both functions, and can switch between acting as an actuator and acting as a sensor. This special issue of SENSORS will report on the recent advances made in all kinds and types of transducers such as the electromagnetic transducers, electrochemical transducers, electromechanical transducers, electroacoustic transducers, photoelectric transducers, electrostatic transducers, thermoelectric transducers, radioacoustic transducers, fiber-optic transducers and biological transducers.

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a 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 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 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
