Stretchable electronics, also known as elastic electronics or elastic circuits, is a group of technologies for building electronic circuits by depositing or embedding electronic devices and circuits onto stretchable substrates such as silicones or polyurethanes, to make a completed circuit that can experience large strains without failure.
Electronic skin refers to flexible, stretchable and self-healing electronics that are able to mimic functionalities of human or animal skin. [1] [2] The broad class of materials often contain sensing abilities that are intended to reproduce the capabilities of human skin to respond to environmental factors such as changes in heat and pressure.
Wearable stretch sensors can be used for tasks such as measuring body posture or movement. [5] [6] in 2018, New Zealand based company StretchSense began making a motion capture glove using stretch sensors. [7] Unlike gloves that use inertial or optical sensors, stretchable sensors do not suffer from drift or occlusion.
The simplest definition is any electronic device that's designed to operate on your body. A Bluetooth headset would be an easy example, but incomplete. Wearable computing should do more than ...
Flexible electronics are polymers or other flexible materials (e.g. silk, [223] pentacene, PDMS, Parylene, polyimide [224]) printed with circuitry; the flexibility allows the electronics to bend. The fabrication techniques used to create these devices resembles those used to create integrated circuits and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
Flexible electronics, also known as flex circuits, is a technology for assembling electronic circuits by mounting electronic devices on flexible plastic substrates, such as polyimide, PEEK or transparent conductive polyester [1] film.
Wearable technology is any technology that is designed to be used while worn.Common types of wearable technology include smartwatches and smartglasses.Wearable electronic devices are often close to or on the surface of the skin, where they detect, analyze, and transmit information such as vital signs, and/or ambient data and which allow in some cases immediate biofeedback to the wearer.
Many smart clothing, wearable technology, and wearable computing projects involve the use of e-textiles. [1] Electronic textiles are distinct from wearable computing because the emphasis is placed on the seamless integration of textiles with electronic elements like microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators. Furthermore, e-textiles need not be ...
