Flexible and stretchable electronics is empowering unprecedented approaches to ubiquitous electronics: owing to its mechanical compliance, it offers opportunities for many new applications in energy transformation and storage, deformable displays, wearable electronic systems, memory devices, compliant large area electronics and in bioelectronics.
Major challenges for research is to achieve both excellent long-term reliable mechanical soundness and electronic performance, joined with compatibility with living tissues and low-toxicity when biomedical applications are involved.
This symposium offers a suitable forum for discussion of timely research in materials, their mechanics, designs, modelling, novel phenomena and techniques enabling the economic fabrication of flexible, stretchable and ultra-conformable electronics for the diverse fields of applications, as well as providing insights for future roadmaps.
