Stretchis: Fabricating Highly Stretchable User Interfaces
summary
A low-cost, multi-layer fabrication method uses PDMS base sheets, a viscous water-based binding layer to allow screen-printing of conductive PEDOT:PSS traces, and electroluminescent phosphor mixed into PDMS for stretchable pixels. Devices are ultra-thin ≈200 μm, show reliable capacitive touch and proximity sensing up to 6 cm, and a passive-matrix display that brightens when stretched. Evaluation with 12 participants reports perfect touch detection; durability testing stretches samples 50% for 45,000 cycles with only a small performance drop.
