Wearable Electronic Materials: Types, Properties and Applications

Wearable technology is currently at the cutting edge of both industry and academic research, and a number of wearable products are now on the market. Inorganic nanomembranes can be transferred to almost any substrate and can be shaped (they are elastic, printable, and flexible). Shapeable systems with a variety of capabilities have been developed via organic electronic materials frequently. These properties build the core concept for new technologies, which transform otherwise rigid high-speed devices into their shapeable counterparts. From the materials available, researchers can select the one that is most appropriate for the intended use. In certain cases, they may even decide to change the approach by selecting an appropriate material for a particular application. All of the rigid electronics building pieces, including as active components, electronics and energy storage, must be remade in the form of multi-functional nanomembranes that can be reshaped on demand after production in order for this notion to be realised. Stretchable and flexible electronics have excellent mechanical properties that enable them to be bent, stretched, and twisted. This opens up a wide range of interesting applications in domains including biomedical engineering, robotics, human-machine interfaces, and other related ones. Although many different stretchable materials and structures have been constructed, the majority are only two-dimensional (2D) layouts for active components and interconnects
