After tile-like thin TV sets, we can soon have stretchable TV sets which can be rolled and bent. Stretchable electronics could become a reality by the successful development of elastic conductors using carbon nanotubes by a group of Japanese scientists. Researchers have integrated the conductor with organic transistors to make rubber-like integrated circuits (ICs) stretchable by 70 per cent without any mechanical or electronic degradation. ICs can be built on curved surface by this step. The surface becomes smart or intelligent. The matrix is made of unique combination of elastic polymers and ionic liquids in which carbon nanotubes are uniformly dispersed. These steps generate stretchable electronics — stretching axially and bi-axially without diluting electronic properties. The research will lead to large-area devices to become bendable and rollable. Applications can include wearable and washable electronics.
