TL;DR: This work introduces a large area, flexible piezoelectric material that consists of sheets of electrospun fibres of the polymer poly[(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene] in order to enable ultra-high sensitivity for measuring pressure, even at exceptionally small values (0.1 Pa).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on relevant technological approaches developed by research, which show perspectives for scaling-up and for fulfilling requirements of industrial production in terms of throughput, accuracy, and functionality of the realized nanofibers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the wettability properties of silicon surfaces, simultaneously structured on the micrometer-scale and the nanometre-scale by femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation to render silicon hydrophobic.

TL;DR: The enhancement of the fibre forward emission through imprinting periodic nanostructures using room-temperature nanoimprint lithography, and the angular dispersion of differently polarized emitted light are demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemico-physical and functional requirements for polymer nanofibers to be used in opto- and nanoelectronics, as well as recent advances in various promising device architectures, such as light emitting and photovoltaic devices, photodetectors, field effect transistors, piezo-and thermoelectric generators, and actuators, are summarized and discussed.
