Cohesive Circuit Protection for Wearable Electronics

Most electronic devices aren’t waterproof, much to your irritation if a sprinkler suddenly sprays you while you’re talking outside on your cellphone. Some electronics can be made at least water-resistant by, for example, using special glues to fuse outer components together. Flexible electronics are another story. Their sealant materials must be able to bend, yet with current technology it’s inevitable that eventually such a sealant will crack or separate from the device — and there goes your water-resistant coating.
