Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Printed sensors and electronics are recognized as promising research areas that can complement (and in some cases replace) traditional silicon-based electronics due to the ability to fabricate devices directly on flexible substrates using high-throughput processes. The interest in printed electronics is progressively increasing in the context of next-generation electronics, such as flexible displays, wearable computers, and the Internet of Things. For the successful realization of applications, lower-temperature, easier-to-fabricate, less time-consuming, and more cost-effective approaches are considered, and various printing techniques with organic, inorganic, and bio-inspired materials have been developed and analyzed for practical device applications. In order to ensure a successful approach to the potentially large market that will be created by printed electronics, more effective research is required, with comprehensive studies on materials, printing processes, and the demonstration of electronic devices.
In this Special Issue on Printed Sensors and Electronics, potential topics could include, but are not limited to, original research work on recent developments in materials, processing, and applications. Examples include printed thin-film transistors, photovoltaics, displays, sensors, batteries, wearable devices, and flexible hybrid electronics.

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. Sensors 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
