Panasonic develops film for stretchable electronics

By Niranjan Mudholkar,

Added 05 January 2016

This newly developed material is an insulating film material that stretches and returns to its original shape.

The stretchable resin film offers the following features developed on the basis of the Company's proprietary stretchable resin technology.

1. Soft and stretchable insulating film material that comes with excellent elasticity- Tensile elongation: x 2.5 or more

2. Insulating film material capable of relaxing internal stresses arising from stretch, returning to its original shape, and withstanding repeated use
- Percentage of stress relaxation: 60%*1
- Recovery rate: 98% or more*2

3. Additional development of a stretchable transparent electrode material and conductive paste along with the insulating material

*1 Results of in-house stress relaxation test (Conditions: 50% stretch for 30 min)

*2 Results of in-house stretch-recovery test (Conditions: 25 mm/min stretch rate and 0.1 mm/min recovery rate)

The newly developed film and materials will be on exhibition at the 17th Printed Wiring Boards Expo held from January 13 to 15, 2016 at Tokyo Big Sight.
