OpenPET: A Flexible Electronics System for Radiotracer Imaging

Inorganic Semiconductors for Flexible Electronics

Electronic systems that can cover large areas on flexible substrates have received increasing attention in the last couple of decades because they enable classes of applications that lie outside those easily addressed with wafer-based electronics. Examples include flexible displays, electronic textiles, sensory skins, and active antennas. This type of electronics, sometimes referred to as macro...

Mechanical Issues for Flexible Electronics

Fluorine-18-FPCT: a PET radiotracer for imaging dopamine transporters.

UNLABELLED Fluorine-18-labeled 2 beta-carbomethoxy-3 beta-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-[-3-fluoropropyl) nortropane (FPCT) has been synthesized as a new dopamine transporter imaging agent. METHODS Fluorine-18 was introduced into 2 beta-carbomethoxy-3 beta-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-[-3-fluoropropyl) nortropane by preparation of 1-[18F]fluoro-3-iodopropane followed by alkylation of 2 beta-carbomethoxy-3 beta-(4...

Wearable Magnetic Field Sensors for Flexible Electronics

Highly flexible bismuth Hall sensors on polymeric foils are fabricated, and the key optimization steps that are required to boost their sensitivity to the bulk value are identified. The sensor can be bent around the wrist or positioned on the finger to realize an interactive pointing device for wearable electronics. Furthermore, this technology is of great interest for the rapidly developing ma...

Flexible and stretchable electronics for biointegrated devices.

Advances in materials, mechanics, and manufacturing now allow construction of high-quality electronics and optoelectronics in forms that can readily integrate with the soft, curvilinear, and time-dynamic surfaces of the human body. The resulting capabilities create new opportunities for studying disease states, improving surgical procedures, monitoring health/wellness, establishing human-machin...
