Microfabrication of Flexible and Stretchable Bioelectronic Devices: Materials, Structures, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The growing application of flexible and stretchable bioelectronic devices is driving a paradigm shift in next-generation personalized healthcare, enabling seamless integration with soft biological tissues for continuous monitoring, stimulation, and therapeutic intervention. Recent advances in microfabrication technology have unlocked unprecedented capabilities in micro/nano-structured functional materials, geometric design, multimodal biosensing and actuators, and the system-level integration of flexible bioelectronic devices.

This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in the microfabrication technology used in flexible and stretchable bioelectronic devices designed for seamless integration with diverse biological interfaces, including the epidermis, neural tissues, internal organs, and vascular systems. We invite submissions focusing on innovative functional materials, fabrication techniques, device architectures, and integration strategies that enable high-performance sensing, stimulation, and therapeutic functions. Contributions may explore topics such as soft conductive materials, stretchable interconnects, scalable lithographic processes, printed electronics, surface functionalization, microfluidic integration, packaging strategies, and reliability under mechanical deformation. Works demonstrating in vitro, in vivo, or human interface applications are welcome. Interdisciplinary research bridging micro/nanotechnology, materials science, biomedical engineering, and soft robotics will be prioritized.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Biosensors 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 2200 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.
