Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Stretchable electronics require components that are robust, deformable, and adhere well.
  • Existing methods for fabricating multi-material stretchable devices can be complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simplified fabrication method for multi-material stretchable thin film devices.
  • To demonstrate the transferability and performance of patterned thin films on stretchable substrates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized thermal shrinking of pre-stressed polystyrene (PS) substrates to create patterned wrinkled thin films (gold, silicon dioxide, indium tin oxide).
  • Employed solvent-assisted lift-off transfer with covalent bonding to move wrinkled films from PS to poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates.
  • Fabricated flexible and stretchable thin film heaters as a proof-of-concept.

Main Results:

  • Successfully transferred patterned wrinkled thin films of various materials simultaneously.
  • Demonstrated highly reproducible heating performance of fabricated devices under cyclic tensile strain and varying voltages.
  • The method simplifies the fabrication of multi-material stretchable electronic devices.

Conclusions:

  • The developed bench-top thin film structuring and solvent-assisted lift-off transfer method is effective for creating complex stretchable devices.
  • This approach offers a simplified route to fabricating multi-material flexible and stretchable electronics.
  • The technique shows promise for advancing the development of resilient and high-performance stretchable electronic applications.
