Special Issue Information
The field of material chemistry together with energy science through the protection of environment is an area of significant research interest. The application of nanofiller reinforced polymer composites with multifunctional performance provide unique contribution to diverse fields such as material science, chemistry, physics. The rapid depletion of fossil fuels has demanded for the pursuit of renewable energy sources. Global warming and energy crisis led to search for some low power consumable electronics or harvesting energy from waste sources. The multifunctional composites with new scientific advances in all aspects of energy research or working as energy harvesting device are of interest in the recent years. The progress of flexible electronics such as light-weight flexible energy related devices, smart sensors, artificial electronic skins, health care monitoring devices, smart sensors, smart fabrics, motion tracking devices putting forward great demand for the improvement of our quality of day-to day life. Flexible self-powered devices can transform our everyday clothing as the sensing substrate. The crucial factor is to incorporate sensing elements and small power sources into garments, at the same time preserving the lightweight, comfortability and functionality of clothes and fabrics.
