Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Textile sensing is widely popular as a means of providing a comfortable, breathable, and conformable sensing platform for human monitoring. Additionally, textiles are also used in monitoring other materials and/or composites, which make them attractive for several industrial applications. Textiles can be used either as electrodes or to embed electrode pathways within them to facilitate a variety of sensing applications. Considering the many advantages textile-based sensors already offer, there is potential in the advancement of sensing technologies in terms of sensor design, measurement architecture, and electronics. Such types of textile sensors can be termed Smart Textiles and may offer advantages in terms of better system integration, innovative design, low cost, and higher measurement accuracy.
As such, this Special Issue on “Emerging Trends in Smart Textile Sensing” aims to report state-of the-art research on developing smart monitoring solutions through a textile sensing platform. We seek original research articles and review articles on topics including but not limited to:
- Textile sensor development
- Conductive textile sensing
- Non-conductive textile sensing
- Semi-conductive fabric sensing
- Smart textile electrodes (textrodes)
- E-textiles
- Textile electrodes for physiological monitoring
- Smart clothing
- Textiles and active electronics
- Textiles and organic electronics
- Design consideration for textile sensing
- System-on-Textile (SoT)

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.
