The Panasonic Corporation, a leading consumer electronics provider based in Osaka, Japan, has presented a soft, flexible, and stretchable polymer resin film using its proprietary stretchable resin technology. The company will also provide a transparent electrode material and conductive paste along with this insulating film.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP, which is based in Dresden, Germany, has teamed up with the Itzehoe-based Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology ISIT. The result of the cooperation is the successful development of flexible electrochemical biosensors on metallized film substrates.
Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed what may be the Band-Aid of the future: a sticky, stretchy, gel-like material that can incorporate temperature sensors, LED lights, and other electronics, as well as tiny, drug-delivering reservoirs and channels.
