A novel transient strategy: transient electronics based on energetic materials

Abstract

Transient electronics is a versatile tool that finds applications in various fields, including medical biology, environmental protection, and data information security. In the context of data protection, the traditional passive degradation transient mode is being replaced by the active destruction mode, which features a short self-destruction time and provides greater resistance to recovery. This article presents an overview of recent progress in transient electronics, assessing the benefits and suitability of varying transient mechanisms. The article also analyses the influence of transient electronics on military security while emphasizing the advantages of implementing energetic materials. Besides, the article introduces energetic transient devices and evaluates their ability to support the autonomous operation of transient electronic devices.
