Flexible Electronics

<p>Flexible Electronics platforms are increasingly used in the fields of sensors displays and energy conversion with the ultimate goal of facilitating their ubiquitous integration in our daily lives. Some of the key advantages associated with flexible electronic platforms are: bendability lightweight elastic conformally shaped nonbreakable roll-to-roll manufacturable and large-area. To realize their full potential however it is necessary to develop new methods for the fabrication of multifunctional flexible electronics at a reduced cost and with an increased resistance to mechanical fatigue. Accordingly this Special Issue seeks to showcase short communications research papers and review articles that focus on novel methodological development for the fabrication and integration of flexible electronics in healthcare environmental monitoring displays and human-machine interactivity robotics communication and wireless networks and energy conversion management and storage.</p>
