Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible wearable sensors generally composed of conductive materials and a flexible polymer matrix have the capability to withstand stretching, bending or compression. In addition, they are able to transfer the strains into recognizable electrical signals, showing great application potential in the fields of smart robots, wearable electronics, health monitoring devices and skin electronics. At present, flexible wearable sensors have become one of the major global research interests, and numerous researchers are devoted to the structural design, preparation, mechanisms and practical applications of new flexible wearable sensors. High performance, low cost, functionality and miniaturization are the most important development directions of flexible wearable sensors.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments and trends in flexible wearable sensors. It covers, but is not limited to, advances in fundamental theories and mechanisms, the development of preparation technologies and signal processing and the innovative applications of flexible wearable sensors. Especially welcome are papers about flexible wearable sensors with special functionalities such as recyclability, self-healing, degradability, superhydrophobicity and other unique features, as well as papers on natural material-based flexible wearable sensors. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, communications and review articles; we hope these papers will help provide new findings and insights into flexible wearable sensors.

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.
