Despite advances on fabrication of stretchable interconnects, realizing functional electronics with integrated solid-state technology (SST) remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a reversible Pol-Gel transition method for fabrication of liquid-metal based, chip-integrated, printed stretchable circuits.
