Advanced Materials for Flexible and Wearable Electronics

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Flexible and wearable electronics are rapidly transforming the landscape of next-generation technologies, enabling seamless integration of electronic systems with the human body, textiles, and soft environments. Advances in materials science have been central to this progress, particularly in the development of flexible, stretchable, and biocompatible materials that enable reliable sensing, actuation, energy harvesting, and data transmission in dynamic conditions. This Topic aims to bring together recent advances in materials, device architectures, and system integration strategies that support the development of flexible and wearable electronic technologies.

We welcome contributions that explore innovative materials, such as conductive polymers, nanomaterials, hydrogels, elastomers, and hybrid composites, as well as fabrication techniques such as additive manufacturing, printing technologies, and scalable manufacturing approaches.

The Topic will highlight research addressing wearable sensors for health monitoring, soft robotics and artificial muscles, electronic textiles, flexible energy storage and harvesting systems, and biointegrated electronic devices. Emphasis will be placed on materials reliability, mechanical durability, biocompatibility, and system-level integration required for real-world deployment. By bringing together interdisciplinary contributions from materials science, bioengineering, electronics, and healthcare technologies, this Topic aims to provide a platform for showcasing emerging innovations that will shape the future of wearable and flexible electronic systems.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
