Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their great potential regarding the Internet of Things and wearable electronic applications, flexible sensors that effectively detect various stimuli associated with a specific environment have been extensively studied. The use of flexible and stretchable electronics in equipment engineering technologies enables the fabrication of slender, lightweight, stretchable, and collapsible sensors. Polymers are now being widely tested and employed in sensor fabrication. They can be used for flexible sensors. The list of applications is long, although developments are ongoing to make their usage more reliable for various areas. Therefore, we set up this Special Issue to select papers in the area of polymer-based flexible sensors.
The proposed Special Issue focuses on:
- Design of Polymer-Based Stretch and Pressure Sensors;
- Preparation and Applications of Polymer Conductive Composites;
- Applications of Polymer-based Flexible Sensors;
- Approaches to Fabricate Stretch and Pressure Sensors;
- The Integration of Flexible Pressure Sensors and Flexible Actuators.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
