Stretchable electrodes comprising thin gold films with initial nanocracks on elastic substrates of poly(dimethylsiloxane) are developed in this work, which can be stretched reversibly while maintaining conductivity to an applied uniaxial strain as large as 120%. Reliable electromechanical performanc...
