Explore the Plenary Speakers of IEEE FLEPS 2025, featuring world-renowned experts in flexible and printable electronics and sensor systems.
Neuromorphic computing, inspired by biological intelligence, promises a transformative shift in computational efficiency and adaptability. Memristive devices, which leverage coupled ionic-electronic interactions, physically mimic synapses and neurons, enabling true emulation rather than mere simulation of biological processes.
In this presentation, we introduce DuPont’s Activegrid™—a highly flexible, stretchable, and formable silver nanowire-based transparent conductor (TC) that matches or surpasses the optoelectronic performance of conventional brittle sputtered TCs, such as indium tin oxide (ITO).Activegrid inks can be deposited from solution using a variety of high-speed, low-takt-time manufacturing methods, and they require significantly lower processing temperatures—down to just 25°C—compared to other transparent conductors.The technology has already been commercialized in several of the world’s first mass-produced flexible consumer electronic devices, where it primarily serves as the TC in capacitive touch sensors.
In the digital and big data era, electronic devices are crucial for addressing societal challenges and enhancing life quality. However, the rigid nature of traditional electronics limits their applicability. Flexible electronic devices emerge as a solution, offering seamless integration with various environments and human experiences. Despite considerable progress in research, the market adoption of flexible sensors remains limited. This talk delves deep into the fundamental materials chemistry questions within flexible electronics, aiming for a clearer and deeper understanding of its core principles. Additionally, I will explore the principles of conformal sense digitalization, its applications, and the challenges ahead in unlocking its full potential.
