Nowadays, the popular trend in electronic developments leads toward a design of chips that are easy to replace and convenient to use in plastic electronic devices. In this regard, various entities develop organic photovoltaic, light emitting diodes (LEDs) or conductive foils. So far, developments in these areas allowed for design and successful implementation of elastic solutions that promise new range of electronic devices functionality. However, there is unmet and increasing need for efficient and stretchable capacitors that would collect energy necessary for organic systems operation. Recently, researchers from Arizona State University and University of Delaware have proposed a novel structure of stretchable capacitors built with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
