Proceedings of the IEEE, the flagship journal of IEEE, features two special issues on Flexible Electronics Technology (July and August 2005, edited by A. Nathan and B.R. Chalamala).

These two special issues provide a comprehensive review of research worldwide in flexible micro- and macroelectronics. The articles provide broad coverage across two major themes: large area electronics and systems (July 2005 issue, focused on devices, related fabrication techniques, and applications) and materials and manufacturing technology (August 2005 issue, including new materials, substrates, and manufacturing tools).

A partial list of the papers in these two issues is given below:
