Flexible Electronics: Sensors, Energy and Health

Dear Colleagues,

With the fast development of materials and electronics, flexible electronics have attracted great research interest in sensing, detecting, energy storage and health-related applications. Flexible electronics are a new form of electronic technology in the fields of flexible electronic materials, devices, and systems. Compared with traditional electronic devices, flexible electronics have many natural advantages; they can withstand large deformations in terms of bending and even stretching, and they can cover the complex surface of the soft tissue of the human body. Flexible electronic devices can integrate electronic components of organic and inorganic materials well, and they have the characteristics of light weight and large deformation. Flexible electronics will have a huge impact in the fields of health care and brain–computer integration of the Internet of things, among others. This Special Issue aims to collect recent research on flexible electronics and their applications in sensor-, energy- and health-related areas, and highlights the future development of this rapidly expanding research area.

We are looking for submissions of original studies that highlight flexible materials and devices in sensing-, energy-, and health-related applications. Reviews which cover well-summarized prospects are also encouraged. The topics include, but are not limited to:

• Flexible sensors;
• Flexible energy-related areas (energy storage, conversion, and catalysis);
• Flexible electronics for health;
• Structure-function properties.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
