Printed Electronics in next generation of Smart Wearables

The integration of microelectronics in textiles has been a growing trend, especially in injury prevention, elite sports, space exploration and film animation. This trend poses new challenges to both the electronics and clothing industry in terms of product design, material selection, washability and sustainable recycling/disposal. Danish Technological Institute (DTI) is in forefront of this development. In the talk, we will highlight how printed electronics can support the development of the next generation of smart wearables. We will also give a live tour in our lab to present some of the advanced equipment that is available for companies in this space.
