Abstract

Flexible/stretchable electronics have recently focused, since their applications extend to emerging flexible displays, sensors, dielectric elastomer actuator and generators, and smart surgical tools. Flexible/stretchable electrodes should be synchronized with employing mechanical deformations of either flexing or stretching modes. Thus, the research area is one of the tough subjects, since the electrodes should keep their basic functions of electrodes under various mode of mechanical deformations. In this review, we discuss the recent development in the preparation and properties of such flexible/stretchable electrodes.

최근 주목을 받고 있는 유연성/신축성 전극소재는 유연디스플레이, 센서, 유전탄성고분자 액추에이터 및 제너레이터, 스마트 수술도구 등과 같은 다양한 분야에서 활용이 가능하다. 유연성/신축성 전극소재는 다양한 형태의 기계적인 변형을 받게 되는데 이때 기계적인 변형에 맞춰 함께 변형될 뿐만 아니라 신축되어야 한다. 따라서 기계적 변형에서도 전극으로써 기능을 유지해야 하기 때문에 대단히 어려운 연구분야라 할 수 있다. 본 총설에서는 최근까지 연구된 유연성/신축성 전극소재의 제조와 특성을 소개하고자 한다.
