Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Printed flexible and stretchable printed sensors with the conformable nature, comfortable wearing experience and continuous monitoring (3C), are highly demanded in wearables, human–machine interfaces, Internet of Things, and smart agricultures. However, the development of printed stretchable/flexible sensors still faces a series of challenges: the performance and stability of stretchable/flexible circuits and sensors need to be improved; new-concept sensors are rarely designed; the cost of flexible electronics needs to be reduced; the fabrication of devices needs to be greener and more sustainable. This Special Issue presents the innovative and cutting-edge works being undertaken in the field of printed stretchable/flexible sensors. Meanwhile, comprehensive summaries of the current stage and perspectives for the future trends are also included. Our Special Issue would cater for the growing interests on printed stretchable/flexible sensors from researchers and the general public.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
