The demand for monolithic structures in many applications has increased to enable more reliable and optimized performances such as for dielectric electroactive polymers (DEAPs). For the layers of the ...

(a) Deposition of parylene film on pre-cleaned glass. (b) Coating PDMS and placing another pre-cleaned glass immediately. (c) Peeling from glass (I) after PDMS solidified, then flipping over. (d) ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone) is an important and versatile material used in the field of printed electronics (PE). In particular, thin film layers of PDMS show great promise for use in ...

Engineers constantly tinker with nanoscale materials—building devices out of nanoparticles, nanowires, or two-dimensional sheets of materials—in hopes of optimizing desirable electrical or optical ...
