Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
Recent progress in flexible and printed electronics continues to reveal their vast potential. Advances in materials, deposition techniques, and design strategies are enabling printed electronics to perform excellently in a wide field of applications. It is now tangible to develop fully printed transistor arrays, artificial synapses for neuromorphic computing, biocompatible sensor systems, and many more interesting devices.
Printing technologies support high-speed, large-scale manufacturing in a very cost-effective manner. Meanwhile, the combination of emerging materials such as conductive polymers, MXenes, graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and more, allows for next-generation applications such as neuromorphic computing, in-body sensors, disposable devices and so on. Key-enabling factors for these demanding applications are the strategies for device-level integration, such as the combination of innovative materials, the passivation and interconnection with the outside world and the electrical connectivity with other electronic systems.
This Special Issue invites original research articles and comprehensive reviews focused on printed electronics, with particular emphasis on innovative device development. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- Physical and electrochemical sensors;
- Printed tags for security applications—physical unclonable functions;
- Biodegradable, implantable sensors and electrodes for biosensing;
- Design for manufacturing printed electronics;
- Printed or flexible heterojunctions;
- Devices for neuromorphic computing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
