Flexible electronics, also referred to as printable electronics, represent an interesting technology
for implementing electronic circuits via depositing electronic devices onto flexible substrates,
boosting their possible applications. Among all flexible electronics, interdigitated electrodes (IDEs)
are currently being used for different sensor applications since they offer significant benefits beyond
their functionality as capacitors, like the generation of high output voltage, fewer fabrication steps,
convenience of application of sensitive coatings, material imaging capability and a potential of spectroscopy
measurements via electrical excitation frequency variation. This review examines the role of
IDEs in printed and flexible electronics since they are progressively being incorporated into a myriad
of applications, envisaging that the growth pattern will continue in the next generations of flexible
circuits to come.
