Self-Powered Flexible Biosensors and Electronic Skin

Dear Colleagues,

Flexible or wearable bio/chemical sensors that attach to body accessories or human skin have been given great attention because of the popularization of portable electronic consumers, including implantable/attachable medical analyzing or various smart electronics (sports watches/bracelets). The latest developments in materials science, mechanics technology, and electronics can help in establishing the various stretchable and flexible sensing devices (e.g., electronic skin) conforming to the complex, textured surface of the skin or clothing. At the same time, the rapid development of self-powered techniques has also brought enormous opportunities for the advancement of traditional sensing systems. Integrating different power-generating devices into the system is becoming a critical component for constructing a self-powered flexible biosensing or chemical-sensing system. The convergence of wearable electronics, miniaturized sensor technologies, and self-powered techniques provides novel opportunities to improve the quality of health/environmental analysis while realizing private, accurate, real-time bio/chemical sensing. This series of works will be very interesting and beneficial to the scientific community to develop the next generation of bio/chemical sensors and expand the scope of self-powered systems.

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.
