Workshop on Flexible and Printable Technologies for Electronics and Electromagnetics (FPTEE)

The development of flexible and printable devices is a fast-growing field of interest in the areas of electronics and electromagnetics. These devices have the potential to be used in various applications, such as healthcare, robotics, and IoT. Conductive and dielectric polymers are the key materials used, and they are typically deposited using printing techniques like inkjet, screen, fused filament fabrication, or vat-polymerization. In addition to antennas and RFID tags, electromagnetic devices that are flexible and printable are also being created using these technologies. Furthermore, integrating flexible and printable electronics into products such as textiles and packaging is an area of progress. Despite the progress, challenges still exist, such as device performance, reliability, and cost. This workshop will provide a forum for experts to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in this exciting field of research. Attendees will be able to present their research, share their knowledge and experiences, and network with their peers. The workshop will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to:
