Electronics that adapt to your world
Flexible electronics for smart materials: ultra-thin, unobtrusive, biocompatible
Imagine a T-shirt that monitors your body temperature or furniture that measures indoor air quality without you seeing or feeling a thing. The Flexible Electronics Lab is developing exactly these kinds of smart and unobtrusive solutions. Using cutting-edge thin-film technology, integrated electronic systems are realised – they’re so flexible they can conform to a wide range of shapes, surfaces and functional requirements.
The ultra-thin transistors, circuits and sensors the lab designs and fabricates operate even on natural or biological surfaces. All systems are built using environmentally friendly and biocompatible materials.
Driven by a strong interdisciplinary approach, the Flexible Electronics Lab develops tailored electronic systems, covering the full process from design and fabrication to characterisation.
