Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable electronic devices have been attracting a lot of attention, with demand for portable and smart electronics continuing to increase. In particular, the use of electronic devices on textiles or fabrics makes it possible to implement a wearable electronic system without any additional attachment or embedding. The purpose of this Special Issue is to address advances in smart textile materials and fabric-based wearable devices. Research topics may include, but are not limited to, advanced materials, coatings, sensors, supercapacitors, and adhesion related to wearable devices. Research on various related topics, such as soft sensors, artificial skin, energy harvesting, supercapacitors, and filtration to implement wearable devices are also welcome in this Special Issue.

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.
