Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, applications of novel sensing and related technologies to electronic and mechanicaldevices have become rapidly developing fields. The booming economic development in Asia,
particularly the leading manufacturing industries from automobile, machinery, computer,communication, consumer product, and flat-panel displays to semiconductor and micro/nano areas
have attracted intense attention from universities, research institutions and many industrialcorporations. Manufacturing is the economic lifeline of a country and has been regarded as a labor-intensive industry. In order to cut production costs, devices for the Internet of Things have been widelydeveloped. The Internet of Things is composed of most integrated end devices and facilities, such asintelligent sensors for internal control, industrial systems, mobile terminal systems, floor control
systems, and home intelligent facilities. Smart devices and external control information are utilizedwith the hope of attracting companies that manufacture high-value-added products in the aerospace,automotive, IT molds, textiles, optoelectronics, watches, medical devices, automation, energy, andsemiconductor-related parts and components fields to drive the country’s economy. Therefore, thekey to maintaining a competitive advantage in domestic manufacturing in the future is to continue torely on the development of novel manufacturing and precision machinery-related technologies. The
scope of this Special Issue entitled “Applications of Novel Sensors and Related Technologies forInternet of Things” covers fundamental sensors and materials used in electronic, mechanical, andelectrical engineering including their synthesis and integration with many elements, the design ofelectronic and optical devices, sensing technologies, evaluation of various performance
characteristics, and exploration of their broad applications in areas such as industry, environmentalcontrol, and materials analyses. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles, aswell as review articles, that will stimulate the continuing efforts to develop electronic andmechanical devices and optical sensors. Potential topics include, but are not limited to thefollowing.
⚫ Electronic devices and mechanical sensors for Internet of Things applications⚫ Sensing technologies for Internet of Things applications⚫ Novel sensor-related materials with new electronic and mechanical properties for Internet ofThings⚫ Novel sensor-related materials for preparation and applications for Internet of Things⚫ Sensor-related subjects related to electronic thin films and coating technologies for Internet ofThings⚫ Synthesis engineering of novel sensor-related materials⚫ Novel sensor-related materials for mechatronics in Internet of Things applications⚫ Novel sensors for Internet of Things applications⚫ Medical and health applications of sensors⚫ Remote sensing in Internet of Things applications⚫ Sensors on robotics
