Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible electronics have received widespread attention due to their various applications in wearable, bendable, and rollable electronics. Flexible devices are amendable with various substrates and produce large-area electronics. Smart gloves, flexible cameras, skin-attachable smartwatches, and bendable medical devices are some interesting applications of flexible electronics.
In this Research Topic, we will discuss the current advances in flexible electronic devices, including flexible memristors and artificial synapses, in the form of research articles, communications, and reviews covering the following areas:
- Fabrication and characterization of flexible electronic devices, including flexible organic electronics and flexible hybrid organic/inorganic electronics;
- Increasing the mechanical stability of flexible devices;
- Increasing the reliability of flexible nano/microelectronics using various nanomaterials and novel structures;
- Top-down or bottom-up approaches for the nanofabrication of flexible device manufacturing;
- Specified electrical and structural characterization techniques considering flexibility;
- Novel approaches to achieve flexible electronic synapses, memristors, and transistors;
- Flexible artificial synapses using renewable materials;
- Flexible neuromorphic devices and architectures;
- Flexible optogenetics and optoelectronics;
- Flexible nanophotonic 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.
