Made from silicone, rubber or other
stretchable polymers, they are ideal for use in rehabilitation exoskeletons and robotic clothing.
How technological advancements is changing the dynamics of
Stretchable Electronics Market.
Powered remotely by a smartphone, the e-tattoo is the first ultrathin and
stretchable technology to measure both ECG and SCG.
In this paper, we present the results of the electronic characterization of PEDOT:PSS films deposited on glass and
stretchable knitted fabric.
Hingtex continues to specialise in a range of
stretchable denim fabrics with various properties, especially
stretchable blended denim fabrics, which accounted for approximately 85.2% (2017: 80.1%) of the Group's total revenue.
'Flexible and
stretchable electronics hold a lot of promise for medical applications,' said Andres Vasquez Quintero, Imec researcher and professor at UGent.
Abstract:
Stretchable electronics is an emerging technology that creates devices with the ability to conform to nonplanar and dynamic surfaces such as the human body.
"
Stretchable electronics allow us to see what is going on inside patients' bodies at a level traditional wearables simply cannot achieve," Rogers said.1 "The key is to make them as integrated as possible with the human body."
"These are the first flexible electronics that are at once highly conductive and
stretchable, fully biocompatible, and able to be fabricated conveniently across size scales with micro-feature precision," says senior author Xingyu Jiang, a professor at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology.
The
stretchable uppers make slipping on the shoe easy and quick, while the air-cooled memory foam insoles give the wearer a relaxing walking and training experience.
The IDTechEx Research report,
Stretchable Electronics 2017-2027, predicts that
stretchable electronics will become a $600m market by 2027.
We have developed a series of wearables, such as: flexible strain and pressure sensors, which can monitor detailed pulse-wave, respiration, voice, sound, micro-expressions, subtle touch and sport activity; sensors that monitor the temperature of patients or babies; dual-function sensors such as temperature-pressure sensors;
stretchable thermal therapy devices, which can supply a stable temperature to keep the body warm or help to relieve pain; flexible,
stretchable and dry electrodes for long-term monitoring of electrophysiology signals, such as ECG; and super-stretchable fibre-shaped supercapacitors for supplying power to the textile electronics.
