Biodegradable materials for multilayer transient printed circuit boards

This invention describes a circuit board designed to disappear or break down into harmless components after use. It achieves this by using special materials for the board itself or its electrical connections that can dissolve or biodegrade when triggered by an internal or external signal. The goal is to create temporary electronic devices that leave no lasting trace.

Why it matters: Material science for truly biodegradable and biocompatible electronics, especially for implantable devices, has advanced significantly since 2015. This makes the reliable dissolution of complex circuits into benign end products more achievable today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
