Flexible transparent oxides – the future of electronics is clear

该项目旨在支持结合氧化物薄膜功能特性的柔性电子器件的开发。氧化物薄膜需要高的处理温度，这与柔性衬底不相容。该项目旨在通过使用一种新的转移工艺提供一种解决方案，该工艺允许氧化物与柔性聚合物基材结合。将研究在热、气体和光的影响下的传感应用。该项目将有可能创造出可以适形地应用于表面或佩戴在人身上的设备，作为有毒气体或紫外线辐射的低成本传感器。

This project aims to support the development of flexible electronic devices incorporating the functional properties of oxide thin films. Oxide thin films require high processing temperatures, which are incompatible with flexible substrates. This project seeks to provide a solution by using a novel transfer process that allows oxides to be combined with flexible polymer substrates. Applications in sensing under the influence of heat, gas, and light will be studied. This project will potentially create devices that can be conformally applied to surfaces or worn on a person to act as low-cost sensors for toxic gases or ultraviolet radiation.
