Discover a comprehensive overview and advances in mechanics to design the cutting edge electronics
Soft electronics systems, which include flexible and stretchable electronics, are an area of technology with the potential to revolutionize fields from healthcare to defense. Engineering for flexibility and stretchability without compromising electronic functions poses serious challenges, and extensive mechanics and engineering knowledge is required to meet these challenges. Mechanics of Flexible and Stretchable Electronics introduces a range of soft functional materials and soft structures and their potential applications in the construction of soft electronics systems. Its detailed attention to the mechanics of these materials and structures makes it an indispensable tool for scientists and engineers at the cutting edge of electronics technology.
Mechanics of Flexible and Stretchable Electronics readers will also find:
- A detailed summary of recent advances in the field
- Detailed treatment of structures including kirigami, serpentine, wrinkles, and many more
- A multidisciplinary approach suited to a varied readership
Mechanics of Flexible and Stretchable Electronics is ideal for electronics and mechanical engineers, solid state physicists, and materials scientists, as well as the libraries that support them.
