About this Research Topic
Flexible luminescent fibers are emerging as pivotal components in the advancement of both biological and optoelectronic devices. These fibers, characterized by their ability to emit light while mechanically flexible, offer unique advantages such as adaptability, lightweight properties, and high efficiency. Integrating luminescent materials with flexible substrates has led to innovations in wearable technology, medical diagnostics, and environmental sensing. As the demand for flexible and multifunctional materials grows, luminescent fibers stand at the forefront of research and development, promising to revolutionize multiple fields through their versatile applications.
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to explore and address the challenges and opportunities associated with the development and application of flexible luminescent fibers. Despite significant progress, several hurdles remain, including enhancing the mechanical durability, optimizing the luminescent properties, and ensuring biocompatibility for medical applications. Recent advances have demonstrated the potential of these fibers in creating highly sensitive biosensors, efficient light-emitting devices, and innovative displays. By bringing together contributions from diverse fields, we aim to foster a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the art and to identify future research directions that could lead to groundbreaking innovations in both biological and optoelectronic applications.
