The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees received a $875,426 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation. The award is part of the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and will fund research titled "CAREER: SCALABLE LAMINATION PRINTING OF NEAR ATOMICALLY THIN ELECTRONIC MATERIALS WITH MECHANICAL STRETCHABILITY" from January 15, 2022 through December 31, 2026.
The grant will support the development of scalable lamination printing techniques to fabricate near-atomically thin electronic materials with mechanical stretchability. This research aims to enable the mass production of stretchable electronics with applications in wearable devices, biointegrated electronics and soft robotics. The funding will be administered through the University of Central Florida's Office of Research in Alafaya, Florida, where the research will be conducted.
