Flexible Sensors: From Technology to Applications [Roadmap for Measurement and Applications]

Currently there is a growing interest in the development of flexible and/or transparent parts to be used in sensing systems. Moreover, there is a need for the realization of low-cost devices by using technologies supporting the rapid development of sensors and electronics. Needs driven by application contexts could hence strengthen advances in sensing methodologies. In the above-considered framework, questions might arise, such as “why rapid,” “why low-cost,” “why flexible,” “why transparent” and above all “which technology might enable the development of such sensors or sensing devices?”
