Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Piezoelectric smart structures represent a significant technological advancement in the field of smart materials, offering a versatile solution for various applications in sensors, actuators, energy harvesting, vibration control, and more. With the continuous evolution of technology and the growing demands of industrial sectors for enhanced precision and efficiency, the research and application of piezoelectric smart structures have garnered increased attention due to characteristics such as millisecond response speed, nanoscale accuracy, the absence of electromagnetic interference, and no generation of a magnetic field. These piezoelectric smart structures utilize advanced materials, innovative design principles, and complex control algorithms to optimize their capabilities in minimizing mechanical vibrations and enhancing operational performance. They are widely applied in precision machining equipment, optical instruments, aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, and other pertinent domains, playing a crucial role in improving equipment stability and operational precision. This Special Issue aims to showcase research papers that focus on the cutting-edge developments in piezoelectric smart structures and their applications, including advanced materials, novel structure, design theoretical framework, control methods, and integration techniques.

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.
