Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of wearable electronics has spurred a growing demand for bendable, flexible, stretchable, and transparent electronic devices. These devices hold significant potential in applications such as wearable healthcare monitoring, smart textiles, and flexible displays. However, achieving high-performance, mechanically robust, and scalable devices remains a major challenge due to limitations in material properties, device design, and integration strategies.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the design, synthesis, and application of nanomaterials for next-generation flexible and wearable electronics. It seeks to provide a platform for researchers to present innovative approaches that enhance device performance, mechanical flexibility, and functionality through novel material architectures and device engineering.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Design, synthesis, and characterization of novel nanomaterials, including 2D materials, conductive polymers, and nanocomposites.
- Development of bendable, flexible, stretchable, and transparent electronic devices.
- Applications in wearable healthcare, smart textiles, flexible displays, and related fields.
- Experimental studies, theoretical modeling, and process optimization of materials and devices.
We welcome contributions that advance the fundamental understanding, design strategies, and practical implementation of nanomaterials and devices for flexible and wearable electronics.

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. 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.
