Flexible and Stretchable Electronics: Current Status and Future Scope

Mohit Moitra

Flexible and stretchable electronics have been subjects of interest for decades to scientists and industrial manufacturers. On-going research is trying to prove instrumental towards making this a reality with through technical verifications and analysis. These should then be suitable for production. Starting with metals and semiconductor substrates, interest has now veered to organic polymers and graphene. However, problems still remain. This review article discusses the properties of different materials and possible processes by which stretchable devices can be manufactured in the near future.
