Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible electronics have been a very active field of research recently due to their potential applications in artificial skins, humanoid robots, wearable devices, and other areas. Nanostructures have unique properties that arise from their small size and large surface area, which can greatly enhance the performance of functional devices. Advanced nanomaterials are crucial elements for flexible electronics, such as flexible polymers used as substrates, functional nanomaterials for sensing units, stretchable conductive nanocomposites for flexible circuits, etc. The high-resolution and high-efficiency manufacturing methods of nanostructures, as well as the control of structural material properties, are urgently needed research areas.
In this Special Issue, we would like to highlight the latest advancements in the development of flexible nanostructured materials and the optimization of their properties in terms of mechanics, electricity, or thermology for use in flexible electronics. This Special Issue focuses on sensitive materials synthesis, structural design strategies, sensing nanostructures, and system development. The topics of interest include the fabrication of flexible nanostructured materials and sensing applications, such as flexible sensors, soft actuators and robots, human–machine interaction, etc. We invite original research papers, short communications, and review articles covering the progress in the field of advanced nanomaterials for improved flexible sensor performance.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 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.
