Plastics Form Flexible Electronics

Posted June 13, 2007 8:55 AM

Bendable and stretchable electronics rely on plastic-based liquids to form a conductive surface. The goal is to have functional electronic wires and circuits that can operate like an accordion. Now, scientists are taking these flexible electronics to real-world applications, such as sensors for smart surgical gloves, artificial muscles, and prosthetic human skin.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Plastics & Resins, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Plastics & Resins today.
