Special issue "Introduction to advanced materials". Functional Polymer.

This special issue is organized, orienting to the demand for advanced materials in the field of agricultural production and research, which adheres to the basic concept of “from agriculture to agriculture”. We look forward to provide solutions to scientific and technical problems in the development of modern agriculture with advanced materials, through materials design and preparation to obtain advanced materials then applying them to agriculture. So, we are waiting for your participating in this work. This special issue includes but not limits to following topics: (1) luminescent materials and fluorescent quantum dots applied to agricultural lighting, such as plants photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis, horticulture, greenhouse cultivation, poultry farming, seaweed aquaculture, etc., (2) biochar materials prepared from agricultural and forestry wastes; (3) additive materials applied to pesticides and food; (4) auxiliary materials applied to veterinary drugs, such as surfactant materials; (5) materials applied to the field of agricultural environmental protection, such as advanced membrane materials.

Time Resolved

Flexible electronics have attracted great attention due to their salient features and significant roles in the fields of energy, information, sensing, displays, smart skins, wearable systems, biomedical diagnostics, and artificial intelligence, etc. The past years have witnessed the rapid development of advanced materials and devices for flexible electronics. This special issue aims to collect high quality articles focused on thin-film materials, devices and carrier dynamics in flexible electronics and optoelectronics. It is desirable to search a variety of functional films including metallic, organic, inorganic, hybrid and composite materials for developing different types of flexible transistors, sensors, actuators, photodetectors, photovoltaic devices, light-emitting devices and beyond. It may contain, but not limited to material design, thin-film processing, structure regulation, property optimization, structure-property relationship, device engineering, and potential applications. Meanwhile, fundamental investigations on surface and interface characteristics, energy level alignments, charge and energy transfer processes, device operation mechanisms, and carrier dynamics related with advanced techniques such as ultrafast transient absorption and time-resolved (TR) spectroscopy, are welcome for understanding the thin-film materials and flexible devices. I kindly invite you to submit a manuscript(s) for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
