Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Flexible/wearable electronics with piezoresistive, capacitive, transistive, piezoelectric, and triboelectric properties have rapidly expanded over the past decade due to the demands of the worldwide Internet of things (IoT). Recent flexible/wearable technology is making use of sensors in a wide area of physical, chemical, biological, and radiological sensing, and sensing data can be used to analyze the workplace, home, and hospital in areas from environmental monitoring to medical diagnostics. However, these technologies still have several challenges, such as sensing resolution, complex fabrication, micropatterned structure, and high cost due to their specific requirements for the geometry. Thus, further development of new materials and simple fabrication techniques with low-cost processes are necessary for various flexible/wearable sensor fields in smart environmental/health monitoring systems and implantable biosensors.
In this Special Issue, you are invited to submit contributions covering developments in any area of flexible/wearable electronic sensors from nanoscale to macroscale dimensions. The scope of this Special Issue includes different types of sensors, new materials and applications, experimental verifications, fabrication techniques, theory, modeling and integration, design and optimization, networks, and data fusion.

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.
