Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, flexible/stretchable electronics configured in soft, shape-conformable formats have gained great research interest due to their promising applications in bioelectronics, such as personal health monitoring, human–machine interactions, implantable devices, etc., and enormous progress has been made in new materials, structural designs, and nano-fabricating techniques for flexible/stretchable bioelectronics.
Among various flexible/stretchable bioelectronics, nanomaterials-based stretchable sensors have witnessed great advances with the continued development of nanomaterials, such as metal nanowires, CNTs, graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, polymer semiconductors, etc. These emerging nanomaterials are essential technologies to help resolve the intrinsic mechanical mismatch between electronic devices and biological curvilinear surfaces. And nanomaterial-based devices possess several unique mechanical and electrical characteristics that enable flexible bioelectronics with excellent performances, such as self-healability, good stretchability, high conductivity, and great sensitivity.
In this Special Issue, titled “Nanomaterials-Based Stretchable Sensors for Bioelectronics” in Nanomaterials, we invite potential authors to submit manuscripts focused on nanomaterials that could promote multifunctional applications of stretchable sensors for bioelectronics. We welcome original research, review, mini-review, and perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to, the following:
- Nanomaterial synthesis, characterization, and optimization for flexible/stretchable sensors;
- Nanomaterials-based device for implantable bioelectronics;
- Nanomaterials for stretchable epidermal electronics;
- Nanomaterials for flexible multifunctional sensors;
- Nanomaterials for stretchable synaptic transistors;
- Design strategy for nanomaterials-based stretchable sensors;
- New manufacturing techniques for nanomaterials-based stretchable sensors;
- Multifunctional integration of nanomaterials for bioelectronics.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
