Abstract:
The possibility to develop electric devices which can be rolled up, bent or even
deformed without lose their funtionality is one of the main and interesting challenges
nowadays in materials science and engineering. Indeed, this represents the
fundamental step towards the development and the realization of stretchable electronics
devices. Till now, several techniques have been developed in order to produce
stretchable conductive elements, basically by joining the electrical properties of metals
and the mechanical features of polymers. Nevertheless, none of these techniques is
able to satify all the basic requirements needed in the realization of metal conductive
traces on stretchable polymers. The main purpose of this thesis is the presentation
of the Supersonic Cluster Beam Implantation as a novel approach for the production
of stretchable conductive nanocomposite systems exploitable in the development of
stratchable devices. This will be accomplished through the synthesis of Au-PDMS
nanocomposites and the characterization of thier electrical, optical, morphological
and mechanical properties. Moreover, this thesis reports on the successful use of
SCBI to fabricate first examples of deformable devices, such as the stretchable and
biocompatible electrodes for biomedical applications.
