 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Future electronic systems will be soft and elastic. I propose to explore the materials, technology and integration of stretchable electronic systems, which will transform at will, evenly coat a spherical lens, or smoothly interface with a delicate biological organ. Electronics will be anywhere as well as everywhere. The proposed programme has the potential to emulate yet another revolution in the microelectronics industry and trigger transformations in the biomedical sector. The ESKIN programme is an ambitious and highly interdisciplinary endeavour requiring expertise at the frontier of engineering, material sciences, biotechnology and neuroscience. Stretchability in an electronic system is its ability to negotiate mechanical deformations without letting them interfere with its electrical functionality. This is a novel and challenging demand on electronic device technology, which has, to date, mainly pushed for smaller scale fabrication and increased performance. Furthermore the natural compliance of biological tissues and cells calls for softer electronic biomedical interfaces. Overcoming the hard to soft mechanical mismatch will, without doubt, open up new horizons in biomedical research and its related industries. The manufacture of stretchable electronic skins will then require working out the underlying science and technology for active device materials on soft, elastic substrates. This capability will further be implemented to demonstrate various soft and elastic electronic systems ranging from stretchable displays to long-term neural implants. My philosophy is to exploit as much as possible current micro/nanofabrication techniques available for hard surfaces but to tailor them to soft surfaces , optimizing and improving them where needed, in order to ensure rapid transition to worldwide distributed consumer and healthcare products.'
