Development of Novel Functional Materials for the Manufacture of Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Functional materials are of rapidly growing interest, owing to their potential uses across a broad range of fundamental and applied areas of application such as in electronic and optoelectronic devices. A large variety of platforms based on functional materials have been used to demonstrate unique and useful properties that go beyond what is possible with conventional photonics and electronics. The related discoveries and techniques have stimulated wide-ranging applications in microelectronics, solar cells, spectroscopy, microscopy, biochemistry, and so forth.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art development of novel functional materials for the manufacture of electronic and optoelectronic devices, and to stimulate new interest in this field. You are invited to contribute your original research articles or systematic topical reviews on the latest scientific and technological advances in the functional materials field. Topics covered in this collection include but are not limited to functional-materials-related nanofabrications, nanostructures, electronic and optoelectronic devices.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
