Bending Fatigue Study of Sputtered ITO on Flexible Substrate (2011, background): “The mechanics of indium tin oxide (ITO) on flexible substrates is of great interest to many researchers [2], [ 3 ],[6],[7].Toevaluatethemechanicalperformanceofthinfilm barriers on flexible substrates, Grego et al. [4] demonstrated a dry-etch-based methodto make cracksin thinfilms more visible under ”
Transparent conductors as solar energy materials: A panoramic review (2007, background): “Furthermore the difference in mechanical properties between TCO films and polymer substrates can be an issue, and tensile failure may lead to crack patterns and thereby increased resistivity [343,344]; surface activation by ion-assisted reactions can be useful”
Flexible electronics under strain: a review of mechanical characterization and durability enhancement strategies (2016, background): “In any case, once cracks form in these brittle films, they propagate rapidly through the entire thickness of the coating and quickly extend large distances in a direction perpendicular to the applied strain [169].”
The spatial uniformity and electromechanical stability of transparent, conductive films of single walled nanotubes (2009, background): “As expected[2, 3], ITO fails catastrophically on tensile bending, with the sheet resistance increasing irreversibly by almost two orders of magnitude.”
