Surface Wrinkling for Flexible and Stretchable Sensors

Giwon Lee et al.

Summary: Recent advances in nanolithography, miniaturization, and material science, along with developments in wearable electronics, have pushed sensor technology to fabricate highly sensitive, flexible, stretchable, and multimodal detection systems. Surface wrinkling, as an effective alternative, improves the sensing performance and mechanical deformability of flexible and stretchable sensors by releasing stress, preventing failure, and enlarging surface areas. This study discusses the recent developments in wrinkling structures for sensor applications, including the mechanics, geometry control, and fabricating methods. It reviews the current state and impact on various sensor types, such as strain, pressure, temperature, chemical, photodetectors, and multimodal sensors. The study also extrapolates the existing wrinkling approaches, designs, and sensing strategies into future applications.
