Abstract

Abstract : Stretchable electrodes constitute a crucial construction unit for the connection of working circuits of stretchable supercapacitors, batteries, sensors, and other devices. Several key requirements for the manufacture of stretchable electrodes are discussed here, including stretchability, softness, adhesion, surface modification, encapsulation, and biocompatibility. The development of stretchable electrodes is still in progress; in the future it may be possible to endow electronic devices with personifications (e.g., smell, touch, etc.) and will they will be important in the medical field.
