Rubber conductor aids development of stretchable electronics

摘要

A research group from Japan's University of Tokyo has developed an elastic, rubber-rn like material, which can conduct electrical current even when stretched or folded. The material, which can be stretched to more than one-and-a-half times its size without disturbance on the flow of electric current, may lead to more applications of electronic circuit mounted on arbitrary curved surfaces or movable parts for robots.
