Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible electronics open up a wide range of exciting new applications, such as flexible lighting, wearable sensors capable of monitoring our health, implantable electronics for improved medical imaging and diagnostics, and soft actuators for the new generation of soft robotics. Depending on the application, flexibility refers to bending and rolling for the easier handling of large-area photovoltaics, or to conforming onto irregular shapes, folding, twisting, stretching, and deforming, required for electronic skin devices, all while maintaining high device performance and reliability.
This Special Issue, “Flexible electronics and devices”, welcomes contributions that report advances, challenges and future perspectives on the following topics:
- Functional materials for active devices;
- Novel materials and stretchable devices;
- Flexible thin film electronics;
- Flexible photovoltaics;
- Liquid electronics;
- Flexible sensors;
- Flexible lighting;
- Flexible energy harvesters;
- Flexible antennas;
- Flexible printed electronics;
- Flexible electronics for soft robotics;
- Low-cost flexible electronics;
- Wearable devices and electronic textiles;
- Implantable electronics;
- Flexible hybrid 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 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
