Development of biodegradable electronic Integrated Circuits

博士学位提案将实现实现零浪费所需的阶段性变化。演示设备和电路将获得与当今硅基电子产品相当的性能，但可以展示生物降解性，使材料能够安全处置，有可能重复使用。为此，我们的目标是将印刷电路板中的许多组件更换为环保、可堆肥的组件；从而减少材料浪费和制造资源。

The PHD proposal will achieve the step-change needed towards zero waste. The demonstrator devices and circuits will attain performances that are at par with today's silicon-based electronics but can demonstrate biodegradability, enabling the safe disposal of materials, potentially for reuse. To this end, we aim to replace many of the components in Printed Circuit Boards to the eco-friendly, compostable counterparts; thus reducing material wastage and manufacturing resources.
