Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of thin-film transistors and solar cells on flexible substrates
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic deformation of the transistor is correlated with small increase in the electron mobility and cracks start to form when the tensile strain reaches 0.34, and burst formation starts and causes an abrupt change in the transistor performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue of double-network hydrogels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the fatigue behavior of the classic PAMPS/PAAM double network hydrogels discovered by Gong and her co-workers, and find a threshold around 400 J/m2 for hydrogel containing PAAM networks of a low density of crosslinkers, and around 200 J/ m2 for PHYGEL with a high density of linkers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue fracture of hydrogels
TL;DR: In this article, a study of fatigue fracture of polyacrylamide hydrogels is presented. But the authors focus on three types of fracture behavior: fast fracture, delayed fracture, and fatigue fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a principle of stretchable and fatigue-resistant materials, which is applicable to various materials, layouts, and methods of fabrication, opening an enormous design space for general applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex interplay of nonlinear processes in dielectric elastomers.
TL;DR: A combination of experiment and theory shows that dielectric elastomers exhibit complex interplay of nonlinear processes, and Membranes surviving these non linear processes are found to attain a constant dielectrics strength, independent of the state of prestretches.
