  • To demonstrate the potential of the new method for high-performance flexible electronic devices.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the
  • shrinkage-assisted patterning by evaporation
  • (SHAPE) method.
  • Utilized vacuum-filtration of polyaniline/bacterial cellulose (PANI/BC) ink through a masked membrane.
  • Leveraged evaporation-induced interfacial strain mismatch for auto-detachment.

Main Results:

  • Fabricated high-resolution, patterned, and multilayer electrodes with robust interlayer integrity.
  • Demonstrated auto-detachable, freestanding electrodes via controlled evaporative shrinking.
