      Flexible electronics, or flex circuits, involve the construction of electrical circuits using flexible plastic substrates, such as polyimide, PEEK, or transparent conductive polyester sheets. Flexible electronic assemblies are made using a variety of manufacturing techniques, including printing, laminating, and deposition, which enables the circuit board to bend or take on a desired shape. They allow the user to create extremely flexible, light-weight, and thin electronic components such as batteries, screens, and sensors. Green Flexible Electronics for Sustainable Healthcare discusses incorporating flexible and printed electronics in the field of sustainable healthcare. It details how to utilise natural materials in the design, fabrication and application of flexible electronic-based wearables and sensors. It also offers a detailed analysis of the effects and challenges of integrating flexible electronics within the healthcare ecosystem. Green Flexible Electronics for Sustainable Healthcare considers the implications of the advances in flexible electronics with regards data privacy, security and scalability.

      Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants aims to explore the intricate relationship between lung cancer and environmental toxicants, shedding light on a hidden link that demands urgent attention. This groundbreaking book addresses a critical gap in the current literature by introducing a pioneering exploration of the interplay between lung cancer and environmental toxicants. Previous articles have not coalesced into a comprehensive examination of the complex connection between lung cancer development and the diverse array of environmental toxicants. This book delves into the latest scientific research and clinical findings to offer a clear way forward for healthcare workers to assess and treat lung cancer patients who may have been exposed to these substances. "Lung Cancer and Environmental Toxicants" provides a precise view of the impact of environmental toxicants on lung cancer, covering various aspects including epidemiology, molecular mechanisms, exposure pathways, and preventive measures. This unique and timely work will pave the way for a deeper understanding of the underexplored factors contributing to lung cancer incidence, offering novel insights into the role of various toxic substances in disease causation. This significant title will catalyze new avenues of research and awareness in the fields of oncology, environmental health, and public policy.
