Advanced Processing and Polymeric Material Design for Integrated Sensing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue brings together cutting-edge research at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, and sensors technologies, thereby emphasizing their collective role in driving innovation across critical sectors. As modern manufacturing evolves toward greater precision, flexibility, and integration with digital systems, the development and application of novel materials ranging from nanostructured composites and bioinspired polymers to multifunctional smart materials are playing a pivotal role in enabling the next generation of sensor technologies.

Contributions included in this Special Issue span a broad spectrum of topics, including additive manufacturing, micro- and nanoscale fabrication, sustainable processing methods, machine learning-assisted material design, and in situ characterization techniques. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate materials science, engineering, and computational modeling to solve complex challenges in fields such as aerospace, biomedical engineering, energy storage, and wearable electronics. By showcasing recent advances and emerging trends, this Special Issue aims to foster collaboration across disciplines and to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world 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. 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.
