Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A flexible sensor is the core member of the flexible electronics family and it needs to provide high performances when converting external stimuli such as pressure, strain, and vibration into recordable or measurable electrical signals, to ensure its accuracy and durability under working conditions. Template methods are regarded as an important method for micro-nano processing in the active layer of flexible sensors. These template methods use physical/chemical processes to introduce micro-nano structures on the active layer, which improves many properties. However, since the processing process and applicable conditions of the template method have not yet formed a perfect system, the development and commercialization of flexible sensors based on the template method are still at a relatively slow stage and it needs to be developed urgently. Therefore, a Special Issue of flexible tactile sensors based on the template method is needed to further promote progress in this field. It is believed that this Special Issue will have a significant impact on many fields of flexible electronics, which is beneficial to promote the cross-integration of multiple fields and accelerate the development of flexible electronic devices.

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. Coatings 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.
