Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial skin, also known as electronic skin (e-skin), refers to intelligent wearable electronics that simulate the tactile perception function of human skin to identify the detected external information changes through different electrical signals. Flexible e-skin can achieve a wide range of functions, such as the accurate detection and identification of pressure, strain, and temperature, which has greatly extended their application potential in the field of healthcare monitoring and human–machine interactions. Current research on flexible tactile sensors is developing towards high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and self-powering properties; visualization; biodegradability; and self-healing. However, considering the urgent demand and rapid application of flexible sensing technology in various emerging applications, there remains a great challenge in how to achieve quantification, multi-function, high stability, and durability in the actual detection process. This Topic provides an excellent opportunity for those who are studying and working on the design and applications of wearable electronics to contribute their findings and analyses. Research papers, review articles, and communications relating to the material development, structural design, mechanism interpretation, preparation process, and related circuit design of artificial skins are all welcome.

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. 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.
