Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible electronics has been considered a disruptive technology based on pioneering and interdisciplinary research, which can break through intrinsic limitations of the classical silicon-based electronics. Polymers can hold a great promise for flexible electronics because of their unique mechanical flexibility, superior solution processibility, and tunable optoelectronic characteristics. Impressive developments have been made in this booming field, encompassing flexible displays, wearable electronics, and biomedical devices, among others.
The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to the development of new polymers, advanced fabrication methods, and rational geometric design strategies for flexible electronics. It will cover a broad spectrum of topics related to the employment of polymers for flexible electronic devices (i.e., devices with features such as flexibility, conformability, and low thickness) such as field-effect transistors and circuits, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and intrinsically flexible organic components (semiconductors, electrodes, insulators, and substrates).

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
