Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, flexible and wearable electronics integrated with various sensors, including strain sensors, tactile sensors and temperature sensors, have attracted widespread attention and created many opportunities in future applications, such as intelligent robots, electronic skin, human–machine interactions and healthcare monitoring, and profoundly changed human lifestyles. To achieve the soft state, flexible electronics requires novel approaches in material design, including strain minimization via the nanoscale processing of established materials and synthesis of new functional nanomaterials. A hybrid of top-down-processed nanomaterials and bottom-up-synthesized nanomaterials can create further multi-functionalities without sacrificing the mechanical deformability. These nanomaterials exhibit unique electrical, optical and electrochemical properties. Therefore, the development of nanomaterials is of vital importance to improve the performance and application field of flexible and wearable electronics.
The current Special Issue aims to provide an overview of recent developments in nanomaterials for flexible and wearable electronics. This includes, but is not limited to, the exploitation of new materials, structure and morphology designs and the fabrication for flexible electronics. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. The Special Issue aims to promote the performance and expand the applications of flexible and wearable electronics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
