Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sophisticated and unique survival mechanisms and strategies found in biological systems have inspired many researchers to develop a new class of engineering devices and systems. For example, researchers observed, adopted and mimicked the hierarchichal structure of nanoscale features embedded in microscale structural elements in living organisms to develop more robust and efficient man-made systems. The bio-inspired studies could bring a new insight and innovation into existing techinological challenges, which encompass the identification of structure-property-process correlations and the multiscale optimization of design solutions.
We would welcome reviews and research articles in this Special Issue focusing on the following topics, but not exhaustive list:
- Bio-inspired concepts and designs in MEMS/NEMS
- Bio-inspired micro- and nanoscale fabrication and assembly processes
- Hierarchical integration inspired by biological materials and systems
- Bio-inpsired functionalities achieved by micro- and nanoscale design and fabrication
- Multifunctional and/or multiscale characterization and analysis on bio-inspired devices and systems

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.
