Problem
Traditional rigid and flexible circuits are prone to failure when subjected to stretching, twisting, and bending, limiting their use in dynamic applications such as robotics, wearables, and soft automation. These limitations hinder the development of advanced systems requiring seamless integration of electronics into moving or deformable structures.
Solution
Liquid Wire provides deformable printed circuits that maintain full electrical performance even when stretched, twisted, and bent. Their patented Metal Gel™ technology, a molecularly stretchable conductor encapsulated in soft, rugged TPU, enables electronics to seamlessly integrate into motion-rich systems. These deformable interconnects and sensors are designed for dynamic environments, ensuring reliability and durability in applications where conventional circuits would fail. Liquid Wire's solutions facilitate the creation of shape-shifting machines and systems that require electronics to move and deform along with them.
