Abstract

Abstract: Soft electronics are intensively studied as the integration of electronics with dynamic nonplanar surfaces has become necessary. Here, a discussion of the strategies in materials innovation and structural design to build soft electronic devices and systems is provided. For each strategy, the presentation focuses on the fundamental materials science and mechanics, and example device applications are highlighted where possible. Finally, perspectives on the key challenges and future directions of this field are presented. Abstract : Soft electronics are intensively studied as the integration of electronics with dynamic nonplanar surfaces has become necessary. The advances that have been made so far in materials innovation and structural design for soft electronics are summarized and some key challenges and future directions of this field are discussed.
