Introduction
As an emerging topic, soft electronics integrate functional materials and advanced manufacturing approaches to provide intelligent sensing devices in a flexible or even stretchable format for unmatched applications. The great potential of soft electronics has been highlighted in several representative fields, from healthcare monitoring and human-machine interface to robotics and entertainment. The development of smart materials and devices in a thin soft platform, key for soft electronics, hinges on advanced fabrication and manufacturing technologies, which also allow for high throughput and high yield in a robust way.
The aim of this special issue is to collect the unconventional and novel manufacturing technologies for developing soft electronics. The researchers and general audiences will be provided with comprehensive information on the state-of-the-art developments, challenges, and outlooks in advanced manufacturing technologies for soft electronics.
Possible topics, within this scope, include but are not limited to:
Micro and nano fabrication of flexible/stretchable/curved electronics
Spinning and textile electronics related processing technologies
High throughput or high-efficiency femtosecond laser processing
Transferring printing for flexible/stretchable/curved electronics
Solution and vapour deposition based organic electronics
Strain engineering of nanomembrane based electronics
Processing of super-stretchable functional materials
Nano/micro imprinting for flexible/stretchable/curved electronics
3D printing/additive manufacturing of 3D soft electronics/bioelectronics
