Liquid Metal Alloys in Electronics: 70 (Materials Research Foundations)

Liquid metal alloys are of rapidly increasing interest in electronics because they combine the high electrical conductivity of metals with the ease of manipulation and reconfiguration of liquids. The book focuses on such issues as self-assembled monolayers energy-harvesting reconfigurable and flexible antennae sensors conformable electronics the creation of non-wetting super-hydrophobic or super-lyophobic surfaces vacuum-assisted infiltration techniques development of microfluidics deformable electrodes and wearable electronics. The book references 270 original resources and includes their direct web link for in-depth reading.Keywords: Liquid Metals Gallium-Indium Alloys Galinstan EGaIn Self-Assembled Monolayers Energy-Harvesting Reconfigurable Antennae Sensors Conformable Electrodes Stretchable Wires and Interconnects Self-Healing Circuits Gallium-Lyophilic Surfaces Wettability of Liquid Metal Substrate Topology Selective Wetting Deposition Technique Gallium-Indium Droplets on Thin Metal Films Substrate Texture upon Wetting Dielectrophoresis Microfluidics Deformable Electrodes Wearable Electronics Flexible Antennae Surface Oxidation of Alloys.
