Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible/soft electronics and displays can withstand mechanical deformations during device operation, making it possible to seamlessly conform to various curved objects, including the human body. These unique characteristics have enabled a wide range of human-friendly bio-electronic applications, such as personalized healthcare systems, wearable smart displays, and implantable prosthetic devices. One of the key factors contributing to the success of soft electronics is their ability to provide mechanical flexibility while ensuring a high level of device performance and stability. To address these challenges, there has an been extensive research effort focused on advancing soft electronics and displays, ranging from the exploration of mechanically soft electronic/optoelectronic materials to geometrically designed device structures for efficient strain management. Accordingly, this Special Issue encourages the submission of research papers, communications, and review papers that offer significant scientific contributions and/or perspectives related to various key topics, such as the following:
- Soft, flexible, stretchable electronics and optoelectronic devices;
- Properties, fabrication, and applications of soft materials, structures, electronics, and systems;
- Specially designed device structures to accommodate mechanical deformation;
- Scalable assembly and patterning process of soft electronic/optoelectronic materials;
- Intrinsically soft electronic/optoelectronic materials, devices, and their applications.

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.
