Stretchable conductive articles including a polymeric substrate with a pattern of slits and methods of making same

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a stretchable conductive article. The stretchable conductive article includes a substrate configured to have a planar unstretched state and a non-planar deformed stretched state. When the substrate is in the planar unstretched state the substrate includes a sheet comprising a first major surface, a second major surface opposite the first major surface, and a plurality of slits that each extend from the first major surface to the second major surface. The plurality of slits is arranged in a Kirigami pattern, which includes at least one feature that is smaller than
