Abstract

En 中文
Soft electronics have significantly enhanced user convenience and data accuracy in wearable devices, implantable devices, and human-machine interfaces. However, a persistent challenge in their development has been the disconnection between the rigid and soft components of devices due to the substantial difference in modulus and stretchability. To address this issue, establishing a durable and flexible connection that smoothly links components of varying stiffness to signal-capturing sections with a lower stiffness is essential. In this study, we developed a novel stretchable interconnect that strongly adheres to various materials, facilitating electrical connections effortlessly by applying minimal finger pressure. Capable of stretching up to 1000% while maintaining electrical integrity, this interconnect proves its applicability across multiple domains, including electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyography (EMG), and stretchable light-emitting diode (LED) circuits. Its versatility is further demonstrated through its compatibility with various manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, painting, and spin coating, highlighting its adaptability in soft electronics.
