Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancements in MEMS actuators and their applications in the past years have considerably accelerated and continue to do so at the forefront of technology. New advancements in diverse applications, ranging from physics to medicine, continue to climb the technology readiness ladder, with very promising fundamental advancements leading to exciting technical applications.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for colleagues to publish recent research results related to the frontiers of MEMS actuators and their applications. These include topics such as the following:
- Fundamental advances in microactuator technologies;
- Material used for microactuation;
- Innovative microactuation methods and advances in current actuation methods;
- Advances in process and fabrication technologies for microactuators;
- Simulation and modeling of microactuator;
- Control issues and mechatronics in microactuators;
- Smart circuits for microactuators;
- Advances in optical, chemical, and biomicroactuators;
- Advancements and novel methods in the characterization, calibration, and testing of microactuators;
- Innovative instrumentation for the characterization, calibration, and testing of microactuators;
- Improvements in the repeatability, reliability, and lifetime of microactuators;
- New applications of microactuators;
- Any other topics related to microactuators.

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.
