The project will develop universally self-healable and stretchable functional materials. These materials can not only withstand extremely large deformations and strains, but they can maintain and restore pristine electromechanical properties even under challenging and changing environmental conditions. The project utilizes multiphase separated organic materials and functionality of smart soft structures is simultaneously increased with the use of liquid phases. The high-performance materials are used to prepare transparent touch-sensitive surfaces, soft sensors, transistors, and electronic skins with unprecedented functionalities (e.g., damage site identification and pain perception). A significant competitive edge will be achieved with the developed materials in comparison to the state-of-the-art technologies, for example, in automotive industry, health technologies and robotics.
