Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Surface and Interface Engineering for Organic Device Applications”, will address advances in surface and interface engineering for various types of organic devices including electronic, optoelectronic, energy harvesting, and energy storage devices. Organic materials (or carbon-based materials in a broad sense) have received much attention for their potential device applications, because they have outstanding advantages such as low cost, low weight, and mechanical flexibility. As extensive research efforts have been devoted to the development and advancement of organic devices, it has been recognized that surfaces and interfaces play a crucial role in the operation and performance of the devices. For instance, various interactions at organic–metal interfaces are of great importance in organic epitaxy, and have a strong correlation with intermolecular structures and their electronic properties. In this context, original papers addressing surface and interface issues are solicited on all types of organic materials and their device applications. In addition, articles and reviews dealing with new functionalities introduced to organic devices via surface and interface engineering (such as super-hydrophobicity and sensibility) are very welcome.

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. 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 2300 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.
