Displays and electronics that are ‘flexible (foldable, rollable)’ and even ‘biocompatible (wearable, implantable)’ are currently under intense study in both academic and industrial setting. In contrast to the existing displays that mostly use flat and rigid components (glass, wafer etc.), the flexible displays and functional devices require materials (polymers and composites) fully capable of meeting the emerging device form factors with high dimensional flexibility and biocompatibility. In this regard, natural polymer nanofibers – such as cellulose, chitin, and silk – are considered potentially viable materials for such emerging displays and electronics due to their promising macroscopic mechanical and physicochemical properties. In this presentation, I will introduce our own research works to create structural/functional materials from the natural polymers that can be used as components (e.g. substrate) for typical flexible displays and biocompatible functional devices. |
