Recent Advances in Smart Materials for Sensor and Actuator Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Smart materials are intelligent materials that can change their material properties in response to external stimuli such as electric, magnetic, and strain. Smart materials are widely used as sensors and actuators for various engineering applications due to their advantages such as fast response time, high energy efficiency, and easy implementation in control systems. The aim of this Special Issue is to disseminate the latest, new, original, and collective knowledge gathered from esteemed professionals like yourself on the use of Smart Materials for Sensors and Actuator Applications.

You are cordially invited to submit your original research articles and review papers that address the subject of the current Special Issue. The list of potential research topics includes, but is not limited to:

• Vibration/noise control and isolation;
• Prognostics and health management;
• Modeling of smart structures and systems;
• Structural health monitoring;
• Soft robotics and artificial muscle;
• Flexible and wearable sensors;
• Energy harvesting;
• Haptic systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
