One of the key breakthroughs enabling flexible electronics with novel form factors is the deployment of flexible polymer films in place of brittle glass, which is one of the major structural materials for conventional electronic devices. Flexible electronics requires polymer films with the core properties of glass (i.e., dimensional stability and transparency) while retaining the pliability of the polymer, which, however, is fundamentally intractable due to the mutually exclusive nature of these characteristics. An overview of a transparent fiber-reinforced polymer, which is suggested as a potentially viable structural material for emerging flexible/wearable electronics, is provided. This includes material concept and fabrication and a brief review of recent research progress on its applications over the past decade.
实现具有新颖外形的柔性电子产品的关键突破之一是采用柔性聚合物薄膜替代脆性玻璃，脆性玻璃是传统电子设备的主要结构材料之一。柔性电子产品需要具备玻璃核心特性（即尺寸稳定性和透明度）的聚合物薄膜，同时还要保留聚合物的柔韧性，然而，由于这些特性相互排斥，这从根本上来说是难以解决的。本文概述了一种透明纤维增强聚合物，它被认为是新兴柔性/可穿戴电子产品潜在可行的结构材料。这包括材料概念与制造，以及对过去十年其应用方面近期研究进展的简要回顾。
