Abstract/Summary

For the longest time, our people today have been clamoring for gadgets that are cheaper but at the same time, cutting edge. And never before has portability been so vital in our everyday lives. This is apparent in the advent of mobile phones, notebook, laptops, and even televisions. In every device, there are components that consist of silicon as its base material. Television have a solid uniform shape because of this material. However, researches state that silicon can actually be replaced with a more flexible material. Plastics are considered to be very flexible but do not conduct electricity. But now through different electro-chemical deposition techniques, plastics or what are technically known as polymers can be both flexible and conductive at the same time. This can only be done with special parameters taken into consideration. And one of these is the utilization of a particular device known as a potentio-galvanostat. This paper summarizes what a potentio-galvanostat can do.
