Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electronics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Integrated stretchable devices are crucial for implantable bioelectronics and wearables.
  • Debonding failures at module connections limit the practical application of these devices.
  • Existing connection methods often lack conductivity, adhesion, or strain tolerance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly conductive and adhesive interface for reliable module connections in stretchable electronics.
  • To overcome electrical deterioration issues caused by stress concentration at module interfaces.
  • To enable simple, paste-free fabrication of robust interconnections for soft and rigid electronic components.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a bilayer interface comprising a nanoscale styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) elastomer layer and a SEBS-liquid metal (LM) composite layer.
  • Utilizing electron tunneling through the SEBS layer and LM particle networks for electrical conductivity.
  • Employing self-organized sedimentation of LM particles for facile interface fabrication.

Main Results:

  • The bilayer interface demonstrates strong adhesion to various modules, enabling high strain tolerance (400% for soft-soft, 250% for soft-rigid).
  • Achieved a high, strain-insensitive conductivity of 3.7 × 10^5 S m^-1 over a wide strain range (0–680%).
  • Demonstrated proof-of-concept applications as electrodes, interconnects, and self-soldering components for physiological signal monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • The developed bilayer interface offers a robust and versatile solution for connecting dissimilar modules in stretchable electronic systems.
  • This technology significantly enhances the reliability and performance of wearable and implantable bioelectronic devices.
  • The facile fabrication method and excellent electrical properties pave the way for advanced stretchable electronic applications.
