Flexible electronics refer to electronic circuits or devices that can be bent, twisted, or stretched while maintaining their functionality. Unlike traditional rigid electronics, which are typically made from materials like silicon and glass, flexible electronics are often constructed using plastic, paper, or fabric substrates. This flexibility allows for innovative applications in various fields, including wearable technology, flexible displays, and smart textiles. The key advantages of flexible electronics include lightweight, portability, and the ability to conform to various shapes, making them suitable for integration into a wide range of products and environments. Additionally, they can enable new designs and functionalities in consumer electronics, healthcare devices, and more.
Electronics that can bend and stretch require batteries that possess the same flexible characteristics. While previous attempts incorporated conductive fabric or rigid components in flexible battery designs, optimal flexibility requires…
