Stretchable, biocompatible devices can bridge electronics and biology. However, most stretchable conductors for such devices are toxic, costly, and regularly break/degrade after several large deformations. Here we show printable, highly stretchable, and biocompatible metal-polymer conductors by casting and peeling off polymers from patterned liquid metal particles, forming surface-embedded metal in polymeric hosts. Our printable conductors present good stretchability (2,316 S/cm at a strain of 5 ...[more]
