Wearable Flexible Electronics
Rapidly prototype wearable electronics with flexible substrates
Wearables are electronic devices designed to be worn on the body, implanted beneath the skin, or even embedded as smart tattoos. Other commonly used wearables include footwear, bodywear, wristwear, eyewear, headwear, and microchip implants [1].
While not all wearables are inherently flexible, they comprise a substantial portion of flexible electronics manufacturing. Many incorporate flexible screens, smart textiles, flexible batteries, energy harvesting devices, flexible integrated circuits, and other materials, allowing them to move with the body without sacrificing comfort or losing electrical conductivity.

Printing Silver Conductive Ink on Cotton Fabric
This project demonstrated how we used NOVA to print stretchable silver conductive ink directly onto cotton fabric to create a functional heated mitten.
