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.About:
