Symposium Technical Description

This symposium aims to offer a forum to foster discussions on the latest advances in the cross-disciplinary field of flexible and stretchable electronics, sensors, and power sources, including but not limited to organic and inorganic flexible and stretchable electronics, flexible electronics based on low dimensional materials, bio-integrated electronics, bio-mimetic electronics, origami and kirigami inspired electronics. The objective is to forge interactions among active researchers from both academia and industries working in the areas of applied mechanics, materials science and engineering, electrical engineering, and advanced manufacturing. Both fundamental research in mechanics, materials, and manufacture as well as practical applications in flexible and stretchable electronics are welcome.

A number of sessions will be organized for the following topics:

  • Organic and inorganic flexible electronics
  • Bio-integrated and bio-mimetic electronics
  • Origami and kirigami inspired electronics
  • Flexible electronics based on low dimensional materials
  • Flexible and stretchable power sources
