ABSTRACT

Electronics have become pervasive in our daily lives as a result of the growth of information and communication technologies. However, integrating new electronic functions remains a challenge. For many emerging applications, the flexibility properties of the components are indispensable for use in confined areas or under heavy strain. Indeed, incorporating an electronic circuit in a cheap and little object is a major constraint in terms of cost and integration of relevant technologies. Because of the shape of the objects, often complex and non-rigid, and the constant need to integrate into minimum congestion, the development of flexible, compact, low-cost electronics has become essential [1]. At present, manufacturing and industrialization of this type of electronics are being developed and we are still far away from flexible products manufactured in mass production.
