Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and applications of conductive polymer composites in the fields of energy storage and biosensors. Conductive polymer composites have gained significant attention due to their unique electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility combination. They hold immense potential for revolutionizing energy storage technologies, such as batteries and supercapacitors, as well as enabling the development of high-performance biosensors for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • Synthesis and characterization of conductive polymer composites;
  • Conductive fillers and their impact on composite properties;
  • Novel fabrication techniques and strategies;
  • Electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of conductive polymer composites;
  • Energy storage applications, including batteries, supercapacitors, and energy harvesting;
  • Biosensors and bioelectrodes based on conductive polymer composites;
  • Biocompatibility and biofunctionalization of composite materials;
  • Performance optimization and scalability of conductive polymer composite devices;
  • Challenges and future directions in the field.

We invite researchers, academicians, and industry professionals to contribute original research articles, review articles, and perspectives to this Special Issue. By bringing together the latest research findings, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in conductive polymer composites for energy storage and biosensor applications.

Gel-based materials have garnered significant interest in recent years, primarily due to their remarkable structural flexibility, ease of modulation, and cost-effective synthesis methodologies. Specifically, polymer-based conductive gels, characterized by their unique conjugated structures incorporating both localized sigma and pi bonds, have emerged as materials of choice for a wide range of applications. These gels demonstrate an exceptional integration of solid and liquid phases within a three-dimensional matrix, further enhanced by the incorporation of conductive nanofillers. This unique composition endows them with a versatility that finds application across a diverse array of fields, including wearable energy devices, health monitoring systems, robotics, and devices designed for interactive human-body integration. The multifunctional nature of gel materials is evidenced by their inherent stretchability, self-healing capabilities, and conductivity (both ionic and electrical), alongside their multidimensional properties. However, the integration of these multidimensional properties into a single gel material, tailored to meet specific mechanical and chemical requirements across various applications, presents a significant challenge. This review aims to shed light on the current advancements in gel materials, with a particular focus on their application in various devices. Additionally, it critically assesses the limitations inherent in current material design strategies and proposes potential avenues for future research, particularly in the realm of conductive gels for energy applications.
