A research group led by Professor Lin Rongzhou from the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at South China University of Technology (SCUT), in collaboration with teams from the National University of Singapore and Rice University, has proposed a novel soft electronics manufacturing method termed 'Particle Engulfment Printing.' The study, titled 'Soft Electronics Based on Particle Engulfment Printing,' was published in Nature Electronics on January 2.

The particle engulfment printing simplifies the complexity of soft electronics manufacturing processes. It enables precise embedding of diverse functional materials, enhances functional integration and performance, and is applicable to various polymers and functional micro-nano materials.

The particle engulfment printing holds potential for integrating active materials to develop highly integrated flexible bioelectronic devices, thereby opening new research directions and technological pathways in the field of flexible electronics.
