Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible/stretchable/wearable electronics have recently become a hot topic among researchers. This interest has grown dramatically, not only in the electronics industries but also among the consumers of electronic devices, since the leading electronics companies such as Huawei, Samsung, and LG have started to produce simple types of foldable or rollable displays. The burgeoning interest has accelerated technical developments in flexible/wearable electronics, creating greater demand for protective coatings suitable for these advanced electronic devices. To meet the current interests, we are assembling a Special Issue on “Protective Coatings for Flexible/Wearable Electronics” to encourage researchers and to provide them with a platform to publish their novel studies.
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Protective coating materials;
- Applications of protective coatings;
- Characterization of protective coatings;
- Coating method of protective films.
