TLDR
In this paper, a review of the most recent advances in stretchable and self-healing polymers and devices for Electronic Skin (E-skin) applications is presented. But, the majority of organic materials can generally be rendered flexible, such materials are not stretchable, which is a key mechanical property necessary to realize applications of E-skin for prosthetics, artificial intelligence, systems for robotics, personal health monitoring, biocompatibility, and communication devices.

Large-scale pattern growth of graphene films for stretchable transparent electrodes

TL;DR: The direct synthesis of large-scale graphene films using chemical vapour deposition on thin nickel layers is reported, and two different methods of patterning the films and transferring them to arbitrary substrates are presented, implying that the quality of graphene grown by chemical vapours is as high as mechanically cleaved graphene.
