Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible and stretchable electronics represent a class of promising technology that involves stretchable/bendable/twistable components such that unprecedented properties are achieved over conventional rigid/brittle semiconductor-based electronics. Wide applications of flexible and stretchable electronics have been explored to yield many emerging devices, such as flexible displays, conformable sensors, epidermal electronics and implantable transient electronics for daily use or healthcare purposes. Rapid development in the field has attracted a great deal of interest in the modeling, design and fabrication of relevant materials, structures, components and devices.
This Special Issue seeks contributions on different aspects of flexible and stretchable electronics, with a focus on mechanical analyses and structural designs toward various component-level or device-level applications. Research papers and review articles are both welcome. The topics include, but are not limited to:
- Mechanical analysis methods of flexible/stretchable electronics on either the device or component level;
- Structural optimization and design theories toward providing better related performance;
- Experimental studies on various properties of flexible/stretchable electronics;
- Novel flexible/stretchable structures with extraordinary mechanical or electrical properties;
- Design of materials, structures, and components for special application scenarios, such as bioelectronics and implantable 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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
