Advances in Flexible and Printed Electronics Materials, fabrication, and applications

Until recently, flexible and printed electronics were never able to compete with the efficiency and performance of conventional electronics. Thanks to recent advancements, product designers are now able to utilize flexible and printed electronics without sacrificing performance. Manufacturers are able make products smaller, lighter, more compact, accessible, and cost-effective to produce. Applications for flexible and printed electronics include OLEDs, illumination, next-generation vehicles, wearable antennas, smart clothing, 3-D electronics, and next-generation vehicles
