Stretchable Electronics Based on PDMS Substrates

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 33(6)

Published: Aug. 23, 2020

Abstract Stretchable electronics, which can retain their functions under stretching, have attracted great interest in recent decades. Elastic substrates, bear the applied strain and regulate distribution circuits, are indispensable components stretchable electronics. Moreover, self‐healing property of substrate is a premise to endow electronics with same characteristics, so device may recover from failure resulting large frequent deformations. Therefore, properties elastic crucial overall performance devices. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) widely used as material for not only because its advantages, include stable chemical properties, good thermal stability, transparency, biological compatibility, but also capability attaining designer functionalities via surface modification bulk tailoring. Herein, strategies fabricating on PDMS substrates summarized, influence physical PDMS, including status, modulus, geometric structures, discussed. Finally, challenges future opportunities based considered.

Abstract Combining traditional textiles with triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) gives birth to self-powered electronic (e-textiles). However, there are two bottlenecks in their widespread application, low power output and poor sensing capability. Herein, by means of the three-dimensional five-directional braided (3DB) structure, a TENG-based e-textile features high flexibility, shape adaptability, structural integrity, cyclic washability, superior mechanical stability, is designed for sensing. Due spatial frame-column structure formed between outer yarn inner axial yarn, 3DB-TENG also endowed compression resilience, enhanced output, improved pressure sensitivity, vibrational energy harvesting ability, which can miniature wearable electronics respond tiny weight variations. Furthermore, an intelligent shoe identity recognition carpet demonstrated verify its performance. This study hopes provide new design concept high-performance textile-based TENGs expand application scope human-machine interfacing.
