Our society is transforming into more intelligent eco-systems that seamlessly merge human beings,machines,the internet,and energy.The unprecedented momentum in such dramatic transformation inevitably relies on innovation in smarter materials.Flexible intelligent materials are eagerly demanded in such evolution.Flexible intelligent materials are soft materials whose properties can be altered by external stimuli,such as chemicals,mechanical forces,temperature,light,humidity,pH,and electric or magnetic fields.The mechanical flexibility enables the adaptability to directly interface with human beings,while various responsiveness to different stimuli provides a rich recipe for constructing different intelligent systems.Recently,flexible intelligent materials have been applied in diverse inter-disciplinary fields such as flexible and wearable electronics,smart sensing,human-machine interfaces,soft robotics,drug delivery,information security,energy storage,etc.To show the leading-edge research in the field of flexible intelligent materials,a special issue entitled Flexible Intelligent Materials has been organized by Science China Materials,including high-quality reviews and research articles from this emerging and inter-disciplinary field.
