The University of Manchester will host a seminar giving an overview of work done at the University of Toronto for creating next-generation flexible sensors, with a particular focus on healthcare applications.
It will span conducting polymer-based sensors with self-health properties, piezroresistive sensors, electrodes and sensing in batteries and supercaps, and smart skins and textiles computing sensors.
