Functional materials are the foundation for various sensors, actuators, and transducers. The majority of functional materials are the dielectrics. Therefore, high-performance functional dielectrics are the key for the development of next generation sensors, actuators, and transducers and should be a key research area for IEEE DEIS. Considering these, technical committee (TC) on functional dielectrics were established. The goal of this TC is to promote the research related to the functional dielectrics.
