چکیده
An innovative technology for the mass production of stretchable printed circuit boards (SCBs) will be presented in this paper. This technology makes it possible for the first time to really integrate fine pitch, high performance electronic circuits easily into textiles and so may be the building block for a totally new generation of wearable electronic systems. An overview of the technology will be given and subsequently a real system using SCB technology is

Printed circuit board technology inspired stretchable circuits
VOLUME 37 • MARCH 2012 • www.mrs.org/bulletin © 2012 Materials Research Society Introduction The fi rst developments on stretchable circuits were reported in the early 2000s in a number of U.S.-based research institutes, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 1 Princeton University, 2 and Johns Hopkins University. 3 All of these technologies used thin-fi lm metallization (evaporation...
متن کاملToni Liimatta Inkjet Printing in Manufacturing of Stretchable Interconnects
Smaller form factors and dynamic applications have made flexible circuits an essential part of today’s electronic devices. Although flexible electronics is well established and constantly growing industry, this technology has its limitations. Flexible circuits can typically bend along one axis and cannot therefore conform to arbitrary shapes like for example human skin. The transition to stretc...
متن کاملTape Transfer Printing of a Liquid Metal Alloy for Stretchable RF Electronics
In order to make conductors with large cross sections for low impedance radio frequency (RF) electronics, while still retaining high stretchability, liquid-alloy-based microfluidic stretchable electronics offers stretchable electronic systems the unique opportunity to combine various sensors on our bodies or organs with high-quality wireless communication with the external world (devices/system...
متن کاملFast and Efficient Fabrication of Intrinsically Stretchable Multilayer Circuit Boards by Wax Pattern Assisted Filtration
Intrinsically stretchable multilayer circuit boards are fabricated with a fast and material efficient method based on filtration. Silver nanowire conductor patterns of outstanding performance are defined by filtration through wax printed membranes and the circuit board is assembled by subsequent transfers of the nanowires onto the elastomer substrate. The method is used to fabricate a bright st...
متن کاملThree - dimensionally deformable , highly stretchable , permeable , durable and washable fabric circuit
This paper reports fabric circuit boards (FCBs), a new type of circuit boards, that are threedimensionally deformable, highly stretchable, durable and washable ideally for wearable electronic applications. Fabricated by using computerized knitting technologies at ambient dry conditions, the resultant knitted FCBs exhibit outstanding electrical stability with less than 1% relative resistance cha...
