Printed and flexible sensor technology

Abstract

unique electronic properties which have a large surface area for energy storage and fast energy transfer. Furthermore, the use of a flexible supercapacitor microstructure is described in chapters 9–11 for fabrication using the printed technique. The printed material used is also described in detail as to what design is suitable so that the supercapacitor meets the requirements as a flexible material. The development of this flexible supercapacitor is highly anticipatedwith further research even though there is no standard measurement method to determine how flexible a material is. So next it is expected to improve the quality of materials or types of electrodes used for intelligent electronic devices in the future. With a detailed explanation of various designs, structures, electrodematerials, and applications of flexible supercapacitors, it will be a source of inspiration for readers. The preface of this book presents the latest survey on the development of flexible electronic materials, especially supercapacitor materials. So that the reader can know an overview before reading each available chapter. The interesting part of this book is that each chapter describes previous research that can support further research so that readers can learn about the strengths and weaknesses of each research that has been done. Researchers who are interested in developing it for the better will be able to get a clear picture of the nanoscale, curves, experimental pictures, and ideas for further research development. We are very impressed with this book because the material and application are presented in a clear, detailed, and accomplished way. How each author explains the materials and applications of flexible supercapacitors is very convenient to understand. Because the explanation is equipped with pictures of materials, technology utilisation, and stages of using materials that can help readers understand the results of the research that has been done. However, unfortunately, for general readers or non-expert readers, it will be difficult to understand images, especially SEM results, because basic knowledge is needed, especially in the fields of physics and chemistry. We highly recommend this book as the best source for graduate-level students at the advanced undergraduate level, researchers, industrial engineers, and specifically in fields related to physics, chemistry, natural science, and also researchers who have an interest in nanomaterial research, chemicalphysics, or similar. The authors have effectively presented this comprehensive book through their excellent explanations. We are assured that this book will get full consideration as their ultimate source among the intended readers for flexible supercapacitor applications. Nevertheless, someone who does not have basic knowledge of physics and chemistry may be quite complicated to understand this book.
