Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has become a highly promising material for flexible functional devices due to its robust mechanical stability, excellent electrical properties, and ease of fabrication. Most research has been focused on LIG production on rigid or flexible substrates, with an obvious gap in laser induction of graphene on elastic, stretch...

This work presents the influence of the weight fraction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in the poly(dimethylsiloxane) matrix on electrical insulating and morphological properties of the composite films. Atomic force microscopy surface topography maps showed good dispersion of MWCNTs within the polymer matrix without aggregates on the surf...

High power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stretchability are the dual requirements for the wearable application of polymer solar cells (PSCs). However, most efficient photoactive films are mechanically brittle. In this work, highly efficient (PCE = 18%) and mechanically robust (crack-onset strain (COS) = 18%) PSCs are acheived by designing block c...

A superhydrophobic (SH) surface is typically constructed by combining a low-surface-energy substance and a high-roughness microstructure. Although these surfaces have attracted considerable attention for their potential applications in oil/water separation, self-cleaning, and anti-icing devices, fabricating an environmentally friendly superhydropho...

A simple, efficient procedure has been employed to effect intra- and inter-chain crosslinking of two commercially available thiolated poly(dimethylsiloxane) copolymers (T-PDMS) with 4–6% or 13–17% of mercaptopropyl side-chains. The thiol functional groups were converted to disulfides (D-PDMS) in chloroform solutions of I2. Importantly, the conditio...

Pseudorabies caused by pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection is still a major disease affecting the pig industry; its eradication depends on effective vaccination and antibody (Ab) detection. For a more rapid and accurate PRV detection method that is suitable for clinical application, here, we established a poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based (efficient remo...

In this study, we fabricated a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surface coated with polydopamine (PDA) to enhance cell adhesion. PDA is well known for improving surface adhesion on various surfaces due to the abundant reactions enabled by the phenyl, amine, and catechol groups contained within it. To confirm the successful surface coating with PDA, th...

At this time, the development of advanced elastic dielectric materials for use in organic devices, particularly in organic field-effect transistors, is of considerable interest to the scientific community. In the present work, flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) specimens cross-linked by means of ZnCl2-bipyridine coordination with an addition of...

With the rapid development of soft electronics, flexible and stretchable strain sensors are highly desirable. However, coupling of high sensitivity and stretchability in a single strain sensor remains a challenge. Herein, a kind of conductive elastomer is constructed with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and silylated cellulose nanocrystal (SCNC)/carb...

The rapid expansion of microfluidic applications in the last decade has been curtailed by slow, laborious microfabrication techniques. Recently, microfluidics has been explored with additive manufacturing (AM), as it has gained legitimacy for producing end-use products and 3D printers have improved resolution capabilities. While AM satisfies many s...
