Unless we develop a logic system.The membrane will need to be thin, making it difficult to peel away the layer from the mold. The electrical interconnects will be throughout the device. Will there be a way to integrate metal and polymer.If we have a peel and layer process, how will we insert the piezoelectric (or similar material) into the
