Flexible transparent oxides – the future of electronics is clear

该项目旨在支持柔性电子器件的发展，并结合氧化薄膜的功能特性。氧化薄膜需要很高的加工温度，这与柔性衬底不相容。该项目寻求通过使用一种新颖的转移工艺来提供解决方案，该工艺允许氧化物与柔性聚合物基板结合。在热、气体和光影响下的传感应用将被研究。这个项目将有可能创造出一种设备，可以应用于物体表面，也可以佩戴在人身上，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.
