Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional (2D) materials (e.g., graphene, MXene, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets) have been recognized as a unique category of materials which not only perform metal-like superior physicochemical properties (e.g., electrical, mechanical, chemical) but also exhibit advantages such as good processability, low density, high flexibility as soft materials do (e.g., polymer, hydrogel). This uniqueness enables the promising application of 2D materials in electronic systems to embed enhanced functionalities along with significantly improved mechanical flexibilities, which are demanded by traditional “hard” electronics with restricted application scenarios.
On the other hand, with the introduction of 2D materials into traditional material systems, various candidates and fabrication approaches have been involved. The conventional trial-and-error principle could be extremely time- and resource-consuming considering the huge parameter space involved (e.g., type, property, concentration, integration approach). Meanwhile, the data processing and analysis of certain electronic systems (e.g., full body tracking, biosensing, health monitoring) create heavy workload as well due to the huge amount of data collected and noise signals involved at the same time.
The current Special Issue focuses on (1) next-generation 2D materials integrated smart electronics with diverse functionalities and applications in fields including health monitoring, motion tracking, electronic skin, soft robotics, and more; (2) efficient approaches to accelerate the materials exploration/fabrication and data processing for 2D materials integrated electronics with the help of artificial intelligence and big data.

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. Materials 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.
