The future of soft, conformable, and robust wearable electronics will require elastomers to provide mechanical stabilization, a soft surface to interact with human wearers, and a crucial physical barrier to protect stretchable devices from the environment. It is a difficult challenge, however, for a single elastomer to fulfill each of these needs. Here, we present a new approach that fuses a membrane of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) onto the surface of a transparent butyl rubber (T-IIR) substrate using an organosilane-based molecular glue. The resulting membrane-interface-elastomer (MINE) structures uniquely combine the surface chemistry of PDMS with the intrinsically low gas permeability of T-IIR …

The development of stretchable electronic devices that are soft and conformable has relied heavily on a single material – polydimethylsiloxane – as the elastomeric substrate. Although polydimethylsiloxane has a number of advantageous characteristics, its high gas permeability is detrimental to stretchable devices that use materials sensitive to oxygen and water vapor, such as organic semiconductors and oxidizable metals. Failing to protect these materials from atmosphere-induced decomposition leads to premature device failure; therefore, it is imperative to develop elastomers with gas barrier properties that enable stretchable electronics with practical lifetimes. Here, we reinvent butyl rubber – a material with an intrinsically …
