Welcome friends and supporters from the FHE community, workforce development partners and media. Thank you for your interest in the work that NextFlex and its members are doing to advance the manufacturability and commercialization of flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) and to foster the growth of the workforce of tomorrow.
As you may know, NextFlex is one of eight Department of Defense-sponsored Manufacturing Innovation Institutes in the US. Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) combine the best of two worlds – printed electronics, which are quick and low cost to produce, with traditional chips and components, to make thin, lightweight, and conformal smart electronics that are revolutionizing both military and commercial applications. Key areas of focus for us include human health monitoring devices, structural health monitoring systems, conformal printed antennas, soft robotics, and more. FHEs promise to change the way we live, work and play by enabling devices in new, functional form factors that perform as well, or better than, traditional rigid electronics.
