Description

Soft electronics is a new emerging exciting field of study, targeting seamless integration of electronics components and devices into non-rigid non-planar complex surfaces and objects. Among others, a particularly promising approach to soft electronics is based on the use of organic and solution process based technologies and materials, trough the development of free-standing conformable circuits made of ultra-thin (tens of nanometers) films of various polymers [1], directly transferrable on skin (“tattoo electronics”) [2] or other complex surfaces. In the first part of the talk will review recent achievement of our group in this field, toward future applications in personal unperceivable healthcare monitoring devices [3], active tattoo and ultra-conformable printed electronic systems [4]. In the second part of the talk I’ll move from 2D to 3D plastic devices, discussing the applicability of this approach in combination with two photon polymerization (2PP) technique [5], to the direct fabrication, simple handling and seamless integration of micro-structures, toward the realization of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and implantable micro-sensors in the framework of the EU funded projects 5D NanoPrinting [6] and IV-Lab [7].
