First flexible wristband supercapacitors 3D printed using single continuous extrusion method

Imagine a world where your phone battery never goes flat, because of a band you wear around your wrist. Sound far-fetched? Well obviously you’ve not been keeping up with the latest developments in materials science. A recent breakthrough by researchers at London’s Brunel University has used 3D printing to produce a flexible supercapacitor, which could serve as a wearable battery booster pack. This means that flexible supercapacitors can now be made more cheaply and easily than ever before.
