Applied Electronics and Functional Materials—2nd Edition
This special issue belongs to the section "Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the dynamic intersection of applied electronics and functional materials, presenting an interdisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners. Research focuses on the integration of electronic components, the use of microcontrollers and other microcircuits and the development of programming algorithms and code. The research focus is on advanced functional materials to highlight state-of-the-art achievements, innovative methodologies and practical applications in various fields such as optoelectronics, sensors, energy harvesting and wearable technologies, surface protection, etc. This publication aims to provide a synergistic relationship between electronics and functional materials, where we aim to catalyze new solutions to urgent challenges while promoting the cooperation and exchange of knowledge among experts in the field.
