Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach to creating programmable and flexible wood-based origami electronics. Natural wood veneer is transformed into a transparent wood film (TWF) substrate, which is then combined with 3D printing and origami techniques. The resulting electronics exhibit high flexibility and tensile strength due to the aligned cellulose fibers and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The flexible TWF electronics maintain stable conductivity and can be folded into various predesigned shapes, showcasing potential for applications in sensors, microfluidics, and wearable electronics.
