Notes:
As a consequence of the ambient intelligent vision where the citizen carries along more and moreelectronic systems near the body wearable electronics is needed. Typical applications are intelligenttextiles and clothes, personnel healthcare or fitness monitoring.The electronic systems for these applications have to be stretchable with soft touch nature in ordernot to hamper the comfort of the user and to be ideally almost non-noticeable to him. Theyshould be reliably withstanding all mechanical and chemical requirements of clothes, in whichthey are integrated.In the EU- project "STELLA" IST - 028260 the consortium has developed a platform technologyof enabling interconnection, packaging and assembling technologies. For example a new generationof stretchable substrates based on non woven with stretchable conductor pattern for largearea application has been developed. In order to realize low-cost high volume stretchable electronicsprinted circuit methods have been modified and applied so far
