Abstract
Abstract Stretchable dielectric polymer with high dielectric constant is a major component for electroluminescent devices. However, the intrinsic instability toward water severely limits their further applications in marine environment. Here, a transparent, underwater stable, and self‐healable dielectric material with high dielectric constant is reported. The electroluminescent device based on this newly designed fluoropolymer can work stably in aqueous conditions. There is no significant attenuation of mechanical and optoelectronic property after immersed in water and salty water for a month. The intrinsic self‐healing ability of the device makes it robust and resilient against unexpected minor or severe damages.
