Presents a comprehensive overview of flexible triboelectric nanogenerators for smart
applicationsTriboelectric nanogenerators are emerging technologies for self-powered systems.
They transform environmental mechanical energy to electric power and have been demonstrated as
a renewable and sustainable power source for diverse applications including energy conversion
and healthcare. Flexible and stretchable triboelectric nanogenerators have big potential for
human interface applications such as health monitoring and artificial intelligence.Flexible
and Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerator Devices: Toward Self-powered Systems is presented
in four parts. It starts with the fundamentals of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) looking
at the materials fabrication mechanics and power management of them. The book then examines
fabrication technologies to achieve flexible and stretchable covering ultra-thin films as
well as porous sponges-based and 3D assembling structures. Self-powered flexible microsystems
such as smart sensors smart actuators and all-in-one smart systems are introduced next. The
book finishes by presenting several application examples including TENG-based active sensors
TENG-powered actuators artificial intelligence and integrated systems. -Triboelectric
