Elastic (acrylate/polydimethylsiloxane) substrate-to-coating interlayers for improving the mechanical resilience of thermoelectric films on poly(ethylene terephthalate) during roll-to-roll manufacture and in service operation

Strain-induced failure is a major concern in wearable electronics. Herein, a ~ 90-nm thick bismuth telluride film is fabricated on 125-μm thick polyethylene terephthalate as the basis for a flexible thermoelectric generator. To simulate induced mechanical strains during wearable operation and roll-t...
