Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible materials and devices have emerged as a transformative technology in the field of healthcare, enabling the development of novel, non-invasive devices for continuous physiological monitoring. Recent advancements in materials science and nanotechnology have led to the creation of lightweight, stretchable, and biocompatible sensors that can monitor health conditions. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances and future directions in flexible materials and devices. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will show how flexible materials and devices continue to contribute to human health.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and comments are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: flexible electronics, biomedical materials for disease monitoring and treatment, and wearable energy devices (triboelectric, thermoelectric, pyroelectric, piezoelectric, hydroelectric, hydrovoltaic, photovoltaic, etc.). Please note that submissions focused solely on the device are outside the scope of this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ding Zhang
Guest Editor
