Nanomaterials, nanocoating, and nanotechnology play a vital role in developing novel devices and applications. They present unique features that diverge significantly from those of their bulk counterparts. These distinctive characteristics offer the basis for novel nanoelectronics/optoelectronics, nanosensors, and nanodevices that can overcome the limitations of the incumbent technologies. Nanocoatings significantly enhance performance and functionality in electronics, optoelectronics, and sensor applications by providing improved electrical, optical, mechanical, and protective properties. This session provides a forum for sharing advancements about the preparation, characterization, fabrication, and application of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in wide-ranging electronic/optoelectronic devices and sensors. The scope of this session covers, without being limited to, various applications in electronics/optoelectronics, sensors, and other devices, including actuators, soft robotics, wearable electronics, flexible/stretchable electronics, bioelectronics, photodetectors, solar cells, light emitting diodes, optical fiber, laser diodes, transistors and related fields.
