Organic Materials for Sensors and Actuators

Description

In highly flexible or stretchable electronic products soft materials are involved, ranging from flexible polymers to compliant elastomers. In the mechanics of such materials, entropy plays an important role rather than energy. Based on the "entropy elasticity" of soft matter, concepts for highly flexible or stretchable sensors and actuators will be presented. -Mechanical properties of polymers and elastomers -Flexible sensors (large area interactive screens, pressure and temperature sensors) -Flexible circuits (transistors, memories) -Conformable electronics (displays, hemispherical photo sensors) -Elastomer actuators and energy harvesters
