Mechanically driven strategies to improve electromechanical behaviour of printed stretchable electronic systems.

ABSTRACT: Stretchable electronics promise to extend the application range of conventional electronics by enabling them to keep their electrical functionalities under system deformation. Within this framework, development of printable silver-polymer composite inks is making possible to realize several of the expected applications for stretchable electronics, which range from seamless sensors for human body measurement (e.g. health patches) to conformable injection moulded structural electronics. However, small rigid electric components are often incorporated in these devices to ensure functionality. Under mechanical loading, these rigid elements cause strain concentrations and a general deterioration of the system's electrical performance. This work focuses on different strategies to improve electrom
