Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Printed electronics have been attracting much interest as a disruptive technology for electronic devices. For environmental sustainability, they are promising because of the potential for subtractless fabrication compared to photolithography or chemical processes. In addition, flexible sensors can be implemented for smart healthcare, the IoT (Internet of Things), or green technologies at low cost and with mass production based on printed electronics.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in and applications of printed electronics. It will accept recent studies of fabrication processes: pretreatment, printing (gravure, inkjet, etc.), post-printing (drying, sintering, lamination, packaging, etc.), etc. It will also welcome applications for medicine (motion detection and biosignal measurement), environmental detection (humidity and temperature), wireless detection (RFID and power transmission), electrical functions (display and memory), photovoltaics, and others based on printed electronics.
We hope that this Special Issue will be a beneficial and productive medium for researchers devoted to developing printed electronics.
Dr. Hyunkyoo Kang
Guest Editor
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
