Flexible Electronics: An Imperceptible Plastic Electronic Wrap (Adv. Mater. 1/2015)

Electronics formed on ultrathin polymer supports are extremely lightweight, able to float on a soap bubble. On page 34, M. Drack and co-workers describe the fabrication of this imperceptible electronic technology platform together with applications in spatio-temporal temperature mapping of electronic circuitry, food items, or human skin. In conjunction with an elastomer carrier, hybrid 2D biaxial stretchable electronic networks are formed.
