“…Due to the flexibility of the materials, the fiber can be made with step-index or gradient-index structure [10] or other microstructures [11]. These special fibers have been demonstrated for applications in supercontinuum generation [10], laser delivery [12], electric devices [13], microfluidics [14], fiber capacitors [15], sensing [16], and other fields. With the introduction of novel materials, the function of optical fibers could be greatly enhanced beyond that of conventional optical communication.…”

This paper presents a review of the development of optical fibers made of multiple materials, particularly including silica glass, soft glass, polymers, hydrogels, biomaterials, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and Polyperfluoro-Butenylvinyleth (CYTOP). The properties of the materials are discussed according to their various applications. Typical fabrication techniques for specialty optical fibers based on these materials are introduced, which are mainly focused on extrusion, drilling, and stacking methods depending on the materials' thermal properties. Microstructures render multiple functions of optical fibers and bring more flexibility in fiber design and device fabrication. In particular, micro-structured optical fibers made from different types of materials are reviewed. The sensing capability of optical fibers enables smart monitoring. Widely used techniques to develop fiber sensors, i.e., fiber Bragg grating and interferometry, are discussed in terms of sensing principles and fabrication methods. Lastly, sensing applications in oil/gas, optofluidics, and particularly healthcare monitoring using specialty optical fibers are demonstrated. In comparison with conventional silica-glass single-mode fiber, state-of-the-art specialty optical fibers provide promising prospects in sensing applications due to flexible choices in materials and microstructures.

As a new direction in applied chemistry, fiber electronics allow device configuration to evolve from three to two dimensions and then to one dimension. The reduction in dimension brings unique properties, such as ultraflexibility, tissue adaptability, and weavability, enabling their use in a variety of applications, particularly in various emerging fields related to implantable devices and wearable systems. The different types of fiber electrode materials are summarized based on the one‐dimensional configuration and their distinctive interfaces, various devices, and promising applications. The remaining challenges and future directions are finally highlighted.

This paper presents all screen printed flexible pressure sensors arrays with Polyvinylidene FluorideTrifluoroethylene P(VDF-TrFE) sandwiched between patterned metal layers. Whilst bottom electrodes and P(VDF-TrFE) are printed on a 25 µm thick polyamide (PI) substrate, the top electrodes with force concentrator posts on backside are printed on a separate polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and the two are then adhered with good alignment. Each sensor module consists of 4×4 sensors array, with each sensor having 1×1 mm 2 sensitive area, and interconnection lines for expandability of the cells. Capacitance-voltage analysis at varying frequency and piezoelectric response of the sensor is presented. Whole package of foldable pressure sensor realized is completely developed by screen printing technology and is targeted towards realizing lowcost electronic skin. The sensors arrays have also been compared with similar sensors structures that were realized with spin coating.
