Controlled Mechanical Cracking of Metal Films Deposited on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)

Stretchable large area electronics conform to arbitrarily-shaped 3D surfaces and enables comfortable contact to the human skin and other biological tissue. There are approaches allowing for large area thin films to be stretched by tens of percent without cracking. The approach presented here does no...
