Multisensing Materials: Integrated Charge Transfer in Organic Ferroelectrics for Flexible Multisensing Materials (Small 33/2016)

Integrating charge transfer into ferroelectrics enables the development of flexible multifunctional sensors. On page 4502, B. Xu and S. Ren show that molecular charge transfer crystals coupled with a ferroelectric polymer exhibit magnetic field, photon, and strain sensing ability. The mutual coupling between ferroelectricity and charge transfer crystals is expected to broaden the design flexibility of integrated micro/nanosystems towards multisensing applications.
