Flexible Electronics
Scope
Flexible electronic devices, characterized by their softness, light weight, stretchability, and good biocompatibility, have attracted the interest of both science and industry since their introduction. With the development of processing technologies, advanced materials, sensing principles and artificial intelligence, their application in various fields such as information, energy, medical care and manufacturing is becoming increasingly important. Flexible electronics has now become one of the most advanced technologies used by many countries and multinational enterprises. Topics covered in this special issue include bionic sensors for ultrasensitive pressure detection, the design of photoresponsive 3D structures, the optimization of delayed fluorescence, the development of liquid-vapor phase transitions for refreshing haptic interfaces, oral chemical devices based on flexible hybrid electronics, and a review of new iontronic sensors on materials, mechanisms, and applications. We hope that this special issue will stimulate many new opportunities in scientific research for the development of advanced flexible electronics.
