Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ferroelectric materials and biomaterials play critical roles in modern electronics, energy storage, sensing technologies, and biomedical applications. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in these materials, covering both fundamental research and applied device engineering. We aim to highlight cutting-edge studies on the synthesis, characterization, and integration of ferroelectric thin films, bulk materials, and nanostructures, along with innovative developments in biomaterials for next-generation devices.
Key topics include novel ferroelectric and multiferroic materials, polarization switching mechanisms, domain wall engineering, and scaling effects. Additionally, we encourage contributions on device applications such as nonvolatile memories, energy harvesting (piezoelectric and pyroelectric generators), flexible and wearable electronics, neuromorphic computing, and high-performance sensors. In parallel, we welcome research on biomaterials for medical implants, tissue engineering, bioelectronics, and biocompatible sensors, emphasizing their role in advanced healthcare technologies.
This Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between fundamental material research and practical implementations, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration among physicists, materials scientists, engineers, and biomedical researchers. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address challenges and opportunities in advancing ferroelectric materials, biomaterials, and their device applications. By bringing together recent discoveries and technological developments, this Special Issue aims to shape the future of advanced materials in electronics, energy, and healthcare systems.

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. 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.
