Stretchable Electronics to go on Electroactive Polymers

Stretchable Electronics

In 2007, more suitable flexible electronic structures with the potential to bend, expand and manipulate individual electronic devices are being developed by researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the USA. The researchers say that these could find applications as sensors and electronic devices that can be integrated into artificial muscles or biological tissues. In addition to a biomedical impact, flexible electronics are important for energy technology as flexible and accurate sensors for hydrogen.
