A new method, embedded‐3D printing (e‐3DP), is reported for fabricating strain sensors within highly conformal and extensible elastomeric matrices b extruding a viscoelastic ink through a deposition nozzle directly into an elastomeric reservoir.

This paper discusses a platform that makes electronics both virtually unbreakable4 and imperceptible by fabricating directly on ultrathin (1 μm) polymer foils, and the electronic circuits are light (3 g m−2) and ultraflexible and conform to their ambient, dynamic environment.
