Fabricated by degradable materials

transient electronics can dissolve in natural environments after completing the default tasks. Transient electronics can compare favorably with the traditional devices through advanced fabrication technology in terms of performance

exhibiting promising applications in fields of environmental protection

medical equipment and information security. This paper comprehensively analyzed its concepts

composition

fabrication technology

degradable process as well as transient devices

and the military application of transient electronic technology was expounded from four aspects: Safe storage of combat information

reconnaissance and surveillance of battlefield conditions

monitoring

auxiliary diagnosis and treatment of soldiers’ injuries

accurate delivery of urgently needed supplies. The existing problem in the development of transient electronic technology was pointed out

and its future development trend was prospected.
