Plastic Electronics

Researchers have developed a new polymer film that’s transparent, looks and feels like glass, and conducts electricity. The material is easy to manufacture on a large scale, should be less expensive than the commonly-used, inorganic indium tin oxide, and is more conductive than other polymers.

A study on how blisters form in stickers might lead to stretchable electronics.

A recent Stanford research breakthrough will aid the push for commercialization of plastic electronics.
