Abstract

Read online

Designing tactile sensors with high spatial resolution are crucial to manufacture large scale flexible electronics. Here, the authors develop a micro-cage structure by exploiting photo-reticulated strain localization films (prslPDMS), which shows the strain local confinement effect and could be used to prepare ultralow crosstalk sensor arrays.
