Polymers in Flexible Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

As an newly emerging research field, flexible polymer electronics have generated a considerable amount of interest regarding the creation of create flexible electronic materials that provide both longevity and an excellent performance in strained states.

The rapid advancements in the production of stretchable electrodes have expanded the burgeoning field of skin-inspired flexible-polymer electronics, which encompasses everything from novel soft-electronic materials to prototype human-friendly electronic devices, such as biocompatible electronics, soft robots, and conformal human–machine interfaces.

This Special Issue focuses on the knowledge and advancement of the manufacturing, design, characterization, control, and applications of polymers in flexible electronic devices. These contributions will serve as a strong basis for future research. We invite the submissions of both original research papers and review articles concerning the development and implementation of flexible electronic-based sensors and actuators.
