Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable bioelectronics is the study of integrating form-factor technologies in electronics with biomedical applications. Wearable bioelectronics technologies include flexible electronics, stretchable electronics, fabric-based electronics, and transparent electronics, etc. By using these various form-factor technologies, it can be extended to attachable/implantable biomedical applications, as well as wearable health care monitoring sensors, wearable electroceuticals, and optogenetics that could not be solved with conventional bioelectronics technology. In order to realize these various wearable bioelectronics, research that converges various fields, such as electronics, biomedical engineering, chemistry, physics, and materials science is required.
To address these challenges, this Special Issue invites high-quality submissions with significant scientific and technical contributions related to key topics in wearable bioelectronics, such as:
- Two-dimensional and Organic Materials for Flexible & Stretchable Electronics;
- Flexible and WearableBio Sensor (Pulse Oximeter, etc.);
- Attachable/Implatnable Bioelectronic Devices (Optogenetics, etc.);
- Flexible and Stretchable Optoelectronic Devices (OLED, QLED, etc.);
- Element technology for flexible, stretchable, and transparent (electrode, encapsulation, etc.).

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.
