Stretchable electronics: functional materials, fabrication strategies and applications (2019, background): “ing technologies, which avoided the occurring of uncertain local failures and increased the ultimate strain of the sheets from 4 to 370% [54].”
Spatiotemporal light control with active metasurfaces (2019, background): “Kirigami, the traditional Japanese art of cutting paper, has successfully been demonstrated at the nanoscale (68) and offers notable optical tuning by altering the overall shape of complex 3D structures (68, 69).”
Highly stretchable polymer semiconductor films through the nanoconfinement effect (2017, positive): “Several approaches based on geometric designs, such as buckles ( 5 ), microcracks ( 6, 7 ) and kiragami ( 8 ), has been demonstrated to impart stretchability to electronics for a variety of wearable applications.”
