Overview

Flexible electronics is an exciting technology which requires expertise in several areas such as physics, chemistry and engineering. Therefore, the students in our group will not only gain experience with state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques but also gain an understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of this area. Students also interact with our collaborators at several U.S. universities and laboratories as well as with collaborators abroad.

Flexible electronics has many new applications, ranging from large area sensors to flexible displays to roll-up photovoltaics. However, to make flexible electronics a viable technology a number of key components still need to be developed including memory, logic, amplification and analog technology. The Flexible Electronics group in the Materials Science Department at The University of Texas at Dallas is focused on the development and integration of these different components.
