Abstract
. Likewise, combining the elastomer with conductive materials can create a healing flexible conductor. This "rigid-while-flexible" design approach provides important inspiration for the development of high-performance, sustainable and environmentally friendly PDMS elastomers for electrical and electronic applications.
