Textiles Surface: Wearable and Smart Devices

This special issue belongs to the section “Surface Sciences and Technology“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Wearable electronic devices have been attracting a lot of attention, with demand for portable and smart electronics continuing to increase. In particular, the use of electronic devices on textiles or fabrics makes it possible to implement a wearable electronic system without any additional attachment or embedding. The purpose of this Special Issue is to address advances in smart textile materials and fabric-based wearable devices. Research topics may include, but are not limited to, advanced materials, coatings, sensors, supercapacitors, and adhesion related to wearable devices. Research on various related topics, such as soft sensors, artificial skin, energy harvesting, supercapacitors, and filtration to implement wearable devices are also welcome in this Special Issue.
