Soft, stretchable, and wearable electronic devices have been studied for their potential use in various applications that cannot be achieved with conventional rigid devices. A common method of manufacturing stretchable electronic devices is to design all constituent materials to be stretchable. This approach can provide high integration, but there is a limit to making all elements of a device stretchable. Herein, we introduce a simple method to fabricate a photo-crosslinkable, transparent elastomer substrate for stretchable electronics and its application to physical sensors. The substrate can be selectively crosslinked by exposure to UV light in order to form a rigid region using a patterned mask. Rigid island structures with repetitive rigid-soft-rigid systems can facilitate the development of uniaxial pressure/strain sensors which can detect pressure regardless of the degree of strain or vice versa. |
