Abstract: This review highlights various modes of converting ambient sources of energy into electricity using soft and stretchable materials. These mechanical properties are useful for emerging classes of stretchable electronics, e-skins, bio-integrated wearables, and soft robotics.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engfracmech.2017.08.035
Abstract: Abstract A typical measure for the toughness of highly stretchable materials is the energy for tearing, determined in mode I fracture tests on wide specimens with a lateral cut. In the present paper we show… read more here.
