Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Printed electronics have emerged as a transformative approach to developing low-cost, lightweight, and flexible electronic devices. Scientists and researchers may easily produce sensors, circuits, and functional components by applying different printing techniques, such as screen, inkjet, aerosol jet, and gravure printing or other processes, on various substrates, including paper, plastic, and textiles. The future of healthcare, smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, wearable tech, and the Internet of Things (IoT) appears bright because of this paradigm change, which makes it possible to mass-produce electronics and integrate them into commonplace items. In particular, printed sensors offer promising solutions for providing real-time, on-site, and non-invasive measurements across a wide range of fields. Advances in conductive, semiconductive, and functional inks and substrate engineering have significantly enhanced these devices' performance, sensitivity, and stability.
This Special Issue highlights recent progress and innovative research in printed electronics and sensor technologies. We welcome the submission of original research articles, short communications, and comprehensive reviews that explore novel materials, fabrication techniques, device architectures, and applications. Contributions that address scalability, multifunctionality, and reliability challenges are especially encouraged.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
