Applications of Flexible Electronics

In this chapter, several representative applications of flexible electronics are displayed. First, the application of flexible electronics as E-tattoos for physiological sensing and therapeutics is given. Large-area, breathable, mechanically robust, and high-fidelity epidermal electrodes are reported. Then, the application of flexible electronics as implantable electronics for the cardiac membrane is demonstrated. Third, an intelligent flexible sensing (iFlexSense) skin, bio-inspired by the powerful sensing capacities of biological systems, is presented for airflow sensing and structural health monitoring of the full-coverage, curved surface. Finally, the application of flexible electronics as robotic interface is shown.
