Three methods are explored in this research that are capable of combinational logic network programming on soft material substrates. Schematics of the material and conductive network for the 2-bit adder by utilizing (a) the Standard Sum of Product (SSoP), (b) the Quine–McCluskey Sum of Product (QMSoP) and (c) the Substitution Method (SM). Compared to the SSoP, the QMSoP 2-bit adder significantly reduces both the quantity of switches and unit cells to 32 and 44, respectively. The SM further reduces the 2-bit adder to 24 switches and 36 unit cells.
