Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the impressive advancements and innovative applications of piezoelectric materials in sensing, transduction, and energy harvesting. Piezoelectric technology, a key mechanism for converting mechanical energy to electrical energy and vice versa, has recently seen significant breakthroughs in material design, device architecture, and system integration. This Special Issue will systematically present the development of high-performance piezoelectric materials, design strategies for novel sensors and transducers, and the latest research on energy harvesting technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) and self-powered systems. Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to, multi-scale piezoelectric structure modeling, development of flexible and wearable devices, optimization of ambient mechanical energy capture efficiency, and their applications in healthcare, smart infrastructure, and industrial monitoring. We aim to provide a platform for scholars in the field to exchange high-level academic and engineering practices, promoting the advancement of piezoelectric technology towards a more efficient and intelligent future.

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.
