Stress factor

摘要

A Product that could monitor stresses on aircraft or a patient's vital signs has been developed by Belgian researchers by embedding optical links in a thin foil-like flexible substrate, creating pressure-sensitive films. Dr Geert van Steenberge, a post-doctoral researcher at the Ghent University laboratory of the IMEC research centre, is leading European-funded research investigating the integration of active components into these ultra-thin foils.
