Special Issue Information
Piezoelectric effects were first discovered more than a hundred years ago and, since then, have been widely used across various fields. Piezoelectric sensors and transducers are mostly made by piezoceramics and piezopolymers. The past two decades have seen tremendous advancements and interesting applications of these types of transducers. They have been largely used for strain measurement and high-frequency ultrasound applications for damage detection and structural health monitoring. Hence, we are organizing this Special Issue to highlight such achievements.
This Special Issue is dedicated to all types of piezoelectric sensors and transducers that are designed or applied for structural health monitoring, which fits with the scope of “Sensor Technology and Application” of the Sensors journal.

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.
