DOI: 10.1039/d3mh00252g
Abstract: The booming development of electronic skins necessitates stretchable electrodes and flexible sensors that exhibit distinctly opposite requirements of electromechanical properties, both of which are difficult to be fulfilled on a single material. Here, a pufferfish-inspired,… read more here.
