Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the preparation process is complicated and it is difficult to realize miniaturization
[0009] Furthermore, in fabricating skin sensors based on such elastic polymers, it is difficult to integrate circuit components of skin sensors onto elastic polymers because elastic polymers are softer than the deformable and commonly used silicon substrates.
