Abstract
Kirigami metamaterials can be exploited in stretchable electronics owing to their architecture, which can be leveraged to amplify stretchability, bendability and deformability. Herein, we report a stretchable kirigami-structured poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer composite. The electromechanical response and mechanical behavior of kirigami PEDOT:PSS-coated PDMS and polymer composite specimens were investigated and compared with their non-kirigami counterparts. The kirigami structure exhibited improved electromechanical properties owing to its characteristic architecture. This study illustrates the application of a kirigami polymer composite as a strain sensor for human motion detection.
期刊介绍:
Flexible and Printed Electronics is a multidisciplinary journal publishing cutting edge research articles on electronics that can be either flexible, plastic, stretchable, conformable or printed. Research related to electronic materials, manufacturing techniques, components or systems which meets any one (or more) of the above criteria is suitable for publication in the journal. Subjects included in the journal range from flexible materials and printing techniques, design or modelling of electrical systems and components, advanced fabrication methods and bioelectronics, to the properties of devices and end user applications.
