- 3D Printed Flexible Battery – Brunel University London 3D-printed flexible wearable battery by layering and stacking silicone, glue and gel electrolyte pastes, forming wristband with supercapacitor inside
- Low-Cost Printing – Prints flexible supercapacitor with low-cost open source 3D printer and cheap materials, compared to using expensive 3D laser selective melting machines and sophisticated expensive metals or semiconductors
- Simpler Process – Uses single process with one machine rather than having to use different machines for printing different parts
- Applications – Paves way for new generation of battery-powered wearables that can power mobile phones, electric cars, and medical implants
