Extended cyclic uniaxial loading of stretchable gold thin-films on elastomeric substrates
Open accessAbstract
Gold thin-films (50 nm thick) on silicone membranes are reversibly stretchable. They exhibit continuous electrical conduction when pulled and relaxed by tens of percent. Here, we show that gold thin-film conductors on elastomeric substrates can withstand extensive uniaxial stretch cycling without electrical failure. The gold film develops into an interconnected network of islands, which reversibly move on the surface of the elastomer with applied strain. The resulting electrical resistance of the conductor remains finite and reproducible over 250 000 cycles to 20% applied strain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
