Liquid-based materials offer a way to overcome the limitations of traditional solid materials by exploiting the unique properties of liquids, such as dynamic responsiveness, soft interfaces, and structural flexibility.
Industrial Chemistry & Materials is pleased to announce our Special Issue “Liquid-based Materials: Novel Concepts from Fundamentals to Applications”, which gathers expert insights on liquid gating systems, liquid-based electronic materials, multi-component liquid-infused systems, and the regulation of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicit. Join us in advancing the frontier of liquid-based materials, from foundational concepts to breakthrough applications!
