Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electronic textiles, or e-textiles, have started to cross over from idea to reality in recent years, but are still at an early stage of development. Though efforts to embed electronics into clothing began as early as the beginning of the 20th century, it is only in the past two decades that advancements in material and manufacturing techniques have made the production of commercial e-textile products possible. Products, such as those for tracking physical activity and sports performance, have not yet seen widespread adoption but are growing in number.
This Special Issue seeks to bring together papers of all areas relevant to electronic textiles and wearable electronics. These include but are not limited to novel sensors, actuators, displays, wireless communications, and batteries that are specifically designed for wearable applications. We particularly welcome contributions relevant to the research in medical areas that would provide step-changing treatments to the most difficult and challenging issues. Review articles, original research papers, and short letters are solicited.
Dr. Yang Wei
Guest Editor
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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
