Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in microfluidics—such as fluidic integration, interdisciplinary approaches, and miniaturization—have revolutionized system design, broadened applications across multiple fields, and led to more compact, cost-effective, and scalable systems. These developments have significantly enhanced the efficiency and versatility of microfluidic systems, driving progress in biomedical research, chemical analysis, environmental monitoring, food and agriculture production, energy, microelectronics, wearable technology, and materials science.
This Special Issue highlights emerging trends in microfluidics, providing insights into fundamental principles, state-of-the-art fabrication and engineering technologies, and cutting-edge applications. We welcome original research articles and reviews that push the boundaries of microfluidic science and engineering.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
