N2 - In this paper, we provide a summary of recent progress on the research on conformal anisotropic metasurfaces and their applications in controlling the scattering, guidance, and radiation of electromagnetic waves. Specifically, several illustrative examples of microwave applications are presented, including coatings for scattering signature manipulation, coatings for dielectric chiral waveguides with highly-confined modes, as well as substrates for compact and flexible wearable antennas. By offering a conformal and ultrathin platform, the flexible metasurfaces with tailored anisotropy in their building blocks will open up new venues for achieving novel physical wave phenomena and improving performance metrics of conventional devices.
