Abstract

Stretchable functional materials are enabling ingredients for the fabrication of wearable electronics, smart prosthetics and soft robotics. These applications require the integration of electronic, optical and actuation capabilities on soft, conformable and biocompatible polymeric substrates [1].

Recently it has been demonstrated that neutral metallic nanoparticles produced in the gas phase and aerodynamically accelerated in a supersonic expansion can be implanted in a polymeric substrate to form a conductive nanocomposite with superior resilience and interesting structural and functional properties [2-4]. This approach is called supersonic cluster beam implantation (SCBI).

Here I present experimental and theoretical results about the production of devices based on...
