Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the near future, there will be a strong demand for sensors and IoT devices integrated on any object with arbitrary size and shape in order to provide new and improved instruments. In this frame, innovative manufacturing technologies, such as printed electronics and additive manufacturing, represent a viable solution for the design and fabrication of such devices and instruments, and to embed them on different 2D and 3D substrates. These technologies are modernizing many application fields such as wearable devices, Industry 4 0, and IoT thanks to their ability to recognize both physical and chemical quantities that facilitate the better monitoring of human health and industrial production processes. In fact, printed electronics offer techniques for the production and integration of unconventional sensors and electronic systems or to make conventional objects "intelligent".
Consequently, this Special Issue encourages the presentation of integrated devices and sensors produced by additive manufacturing technologies (e.g., screen printing, inkjet printing, aerosol jet printing, etc.) for industrial and biomedical applications.

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. Instruments is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.
