Large area flexible and stretchable electronics — •Siegfried Bauer — Soft Matter Physics, Johannes Kepler Universiry, Altenbergerstrasse 69, A-4040 Linz, Austria

Today's electronics is stiff, usually made of brittle materials. Tomorrow's electronic may be highly flexible and even mechanically deformable to conform to arbitrary forms. Such electronics must be build on a combination of soft and hard materials. Challenges in this field of research are the largely different mechanical properties of the materials used: entropy elastic elastomers and energy elastic solids. New research directions in mechanics emerge leading to new and unexpected electromechanical instabilities. In the presentation, a tour d'horizon through the mechanics of soft materials under extreme conditions of stretch is given. Examples chosen will be based on recent developments in large area flexible and stretchable electronics, such as ultrathin, ultraflexible and ultracompliant organic solar cells, integrated sensors and active matrix arrays.
