Abstract Scope |
Recent research efforts will be discussed related to printed stretchable electronics based on gallium alloys. These alloys are liquid at room temperature, but provide enormously rich surface chemistries that can be used to control their responsive electro-mechanical properties. Understanding these surfaces has led to the development of inks for a variety of printing techniques such as screen printing, extrusion, and jet printing that are being used to fabricate novel flexible and stretchable electronics and hybrid electronics. Applications are being explored such as on-body networks for wearable data and power routing, capacitive touch sensors for soft robotics, and dry electrodes for long term electrophysiological measurements such as ECG. |
