Title:[Invited] Extremely Stretchable Nanotube Transistors
Taishi?Takenobu (Waseda Univ., Japan)
Abstract: Flexible and stretchable electronics are attracting considerable attention as the next-generation functional electronics because it is believed that in future many electronic assemblies on rigid substrates will be replaced by mechanically flexible or even stretchable alternatives. This is a consequence of the ambient intelligence vision where the citizen carries along more and more electronics systems, near the body, on or even inside the body. These systems must be light weighted, must preferably take the shape of the object in which they are integrated, and must even follow all complex movements of these objects, explaining the need for stretchability. Typical examples are implants, intelligent textile, portable electronic equipment (e.g. mobile phones), robotics, car electronics, etc. Very recently, this is not just concept anymore and smart watches, such as Apple Watch, Galaxy Gear and Sony SWR50, are already in the market. Now, it is strongly required to establish technological basis of future stretchable electronics. Although Si and organic materials have been playing the main role in these research fields, in this study, we would like to show you the considerable potential in single-walled carbon-nanotube (SWCNT) films.
