Conventionally, electronics are constructed with static form factors to serve targeted applications. For examples, emerging soft wearable electronics are designed to allow dynamic accommodation of applied stress to maximize user comfort when integrated with the body. In contrast, rigid electronics are built for tabletop or handheld uses based on their solid interfaces that ease user handling. To leverage advantages of both rigid and soft electronics, we developed a new class of electronics that can reconfigure their shape, flexibility and stretchability for desired purposes. This talk will introduce the concept, materials, and operation principle of transformative electronics with applications in wearables, implantables, and sensors.
