Stretchable Electrically-conductive Pastes for Wearable Device Packaging (Wearable Technology Europe 2015)

Material technologies of electrically-conductive pastes are important to establish the additive printing processes for wearable device packaging. Material design of stretchable electrically-conductive pastes for the screen printing process will be discussed. In addition, application of the pastes to an e-textile probe system for measuring biological signals is introduced.

Masahiro Inoue is a lecturer (tenure-track researcher) of ASRLD unit, Gunma University, Japan.

He received a PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Osaka University, Japan.

His current research focuses on characterization and application of novel polymer based composites with micro- and nano-fillers loading.

Gunma University is located approximately 100 km northwest of Tokyo, Japan. Each year, between 5,000-5,200 undergraduate students and 1,500-1,600 graduate students are enrolled, including 250-300 international students. There are also 25-30 international exchange students from sister universities overseas.
