L’electrònica convencional basada en el silici te grans dificultats a l’hora de ser implementada en dispositius electrònics que estiguin en contacte amb les corbes i las plasticitat dels teixits del cos humà. Futures aplicacions mèdiques como la pell electrònica, sistemes de alliberació de fàrmac transdèrmic o nous bio-sensors requereixen de sistemes electrònics capaços de ser doblegats, retorçats o enrotllats en superfícies corbes.

Abstract:

Paper is renewable, recyclable, sustainable and biodegradable material and, as a result, paper-based materials are widely used in the world packaging market. However, paper-based materials cannot compete with plastics in terms of processability into various 3D shapes. This is due to poor formability of paper, which is closely associated with its toughness. To improve paper formability, we report on a facile and green method that combines fiber and paper mechanical modifications at different structural levels as well as biopolymer treatment via spraying. As a result, a remarkable elongation of

Smart materials can be exploited to facilitate disruptive or transformative changes in several fields like stretchable electronics, soft robotics or to develop new class of sensors. They are innovative materials that interact with the environment and respond to external stimuli altering their physical properties in a controlled fashion. They are made integrating different materials at the nanoscale in a nanocomposite to obtain novel functionalities that are not showed from individual constituents. Polymers are the best candidates to be used in smart material fabrication because of their struc

Abstract:

In this work, stretchable magnetic sensorics is successfully established by combining metallic thin films revealing a giant magnetoresistance effect with elastomeric materials. Stretchability of the magnetic nanomembranes is achieved by specific morphologic features (e.g. wrinkles), which accommodate the applied tensile deformation while maintaining the electrical and magnetic integrity of the sensor device. The entire development, from the demonstration of the world-wide first elastically stretchable magnetic sensor to the realization of a technology platform for robust, ready-to-use elastic

This thesis aims to develop a new type of highly stretchable strain sensor to measure large deformation of a specimen subjected to dynamic loading.

Miniaturized stretchable electronic devices that can be bent and strained elastically without breaking, have drawn considerable research interest in recent years for wearable computers and integrated bio-sensor applications. Portable electrical power harvesting remains a critical challenge in flexible electronics materials. One proposed solution has been to convert waste heat from the human body into electricity using thermoelectric materials. Traditionally, however, these materials are brittle ceramic semiconductors with limited fracture resistance under deformation. The primary objective of

Abstract:

Executive summary Today, packaging has gained a significant role in the food industry as well as other industries. Paper substrates that have been coated in some ways are typically used to make packaging. The amount and type of pigment used in the formulation determine whether this coating is a pigment coating or a barrier coating. Critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC) is the optimum spot when the pigments are packed as densely as possible, and the binder fills the air gaps. When the amount of pigment in a coating is less than CPVC, a barrier coating is formed, although when the amount

Abstract:

Stretchable electronics garners attention for its promise in unobtrusive wearable systems for health monitoring and potentially for medical therapy. One significant question though is whether to develop holistic stretchable electronics where the process steps for electronic and mechanical functions are interwoven, or to integrate mature CMOS into stretchable electronic substrates where the CMOS process is separate from mechanical process steps. A major limitation with integrating CMOS is the interface between the soft and hard materials when introduced into functional systems. To address this,

<p>By using flexible and stretchable materials in place of fixed components, soft robots can materially adapt or change to their environment, providing built-in safeties for robotic operation around humans or fragile, delicate objects. And yet, building a robot out of only soft and flexible materials can be a significant challenge depending on the tasks that the robot needs to perform, for example if the robot were to need to exert higher forces (even temporarily) or self-report its current state (as it deforms unexpectedly around external objects).
