Meet the editors

Assoc. Prof. Fatma Sarf received her master's degree from Konya Selçuk University, Turkey, in 2007 and her Ph.D. from Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey, in 2016. Dr. Sarf has investigated the optical properties of metal oxides, surface wettability, electrode materials for Li-ion batteries, and metal oxide gas sensors. She has produced thin films and nanoparticles using different systems. Recently, she has focused on waste

materials as anode materials for Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Emin Yakar received his master's degree and Ph.D. from the Gebze Institute of Technology, Turkey. He has investigated experimental and theoretical studies of semiconductor materials. He has focused on ceramics, surface wettability, and the characterization of metal oxide thin films. Dr. Yakar also studies metal oxide gas sensors, ceramics, and phase transitions in semiconductors.

Assoc. Prof. Irmak Karaduman Er received her Ph.D. from Gazi University, Turkey, in 2015. She has investigated the optical properties and gas sensor characteristics of semiconductors. She produced thin films using chemical bath deposition and other chemical techniques. Dr. Karaduman is currently also studying the photoluminescence of different kinds of phosphorous materials.

Preface

Thin films with and without plasticizers defined by Tian et al. (2020), usually known as thin and/or elastic polymers, are indispensable in technology. Homo or hetero structures based on thin films have attracted great attention with the use of different chemical or physical production techniques. In this way, advanced functional device design and processes up to the atomic level can be achieved at all length scales.

The idea of writing this book developed as a result of interest in the fields of

electrodeposition, and magnetic applications.
