Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of flexible electronics has been proposed for several decades. These materials have been increasingly attracted and important for electronic devices in applications that require bending, rolling, folding, or stretching, which cannot be fulfilled by conventional electronics. They have a wide range of application prospects in the fields of information, energy, medical treatment, national defence, etc. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the synergistic combination of polymers and functional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal nanomaterials, transmission metal carbides and/or nitrides (MXene) has brought an enormous opportunity for developing high-performance flexible electronics which have been used as sensors, displays, actuators, batteries, supercapacitors, artificial skin, human–machine interfaces, wearable/portable devices, antenna, electromagnetic interference shields, microwave absorbers, etc.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent advances in flexible electronics covering the rational design of current popular materials, including but not limited to carbon, metal, and MXene-based composites and all potential materials, as well as their applications, concerning but not limited to the fabrication processes, the design of materials and special structures (porous structures, interfacial structures, hierarchical structures, hollow structure, etc.), reliability testing, innovative data analysis technologies, state-of-the-art applications, as well as relevant prospects in terms of opportunities and challenges. High-quality research articles, short communications, as well as reviews, are welcome.

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.
