Why Plastic Circuits?
•Current Market is highly influenced by Silicon.
•Silicon Circuits Production is Costlier
•Silicon Electronic Fabrication Doesn’t meet Future Requirement.
•Companies Looking for Alternative of Silicon For Future Needs
Benefits of Plastic Circuits
•Flexible , Easy Upgradation.
•Consume Less Power
•Manufactured at Fraction of the cost Involved in making semiconductor chips.
•Plastic Fibres are potentially stronger then glass fibres.
•Circuit Production and Up gradation is easier.
•Can be rolled up like a paper
How Plastic Circuits Works?
•Chemical Composition of plastics or conjugated polymers is changed by doping to make them conducting.
•Polymers polythiophenes, oligothiophenes and pentacene have conductive property.
•Products already available in market like LEPs(Light Emitting Polymers) for displays.
Electroactive Polymers -Application
Artificial Muscles are known as Electroactive Polymers.
•Would help humans in body deformities
•Just like a Robotic Arm.
