The researchers\u2019 work was recently published as a cover story in the journal Nano Letters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed oembed oembed-video d-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><noscript><iframe title=\"Kirigami Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0nTwsTC3-TQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe title=\"Kirigami Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0nTwsTC3-TQ?feature=oembed\" class=\" lazyload\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The new material is comprised of a flexible, plastic-film-like polyimide substrate that\u2019s laser-precision cut into kirigami patterns and then fused with a near atom-thickness layer of platinum and selenium elements produced by a chemical vapor deposition technique. The cuts almost look like gill-slits that run across the length of the film.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a material with adjustable conductivity based on the thickness of the platinum and selenium elements and, because of the kirigami cuts, an ability to stretch to 2,000 percent longer than its original length without any loss in electronic performance.<\/p>\n<p>The nanoscale layer of combined platinum and selenium fused to the polyimide substrate is so small, at only a few atoms thick, that is considered to be two dimensional, or in other words, lacking a height dimension.<\/p>\n<p>The process is unique, too, in that the layer is formed directly on the substrate, whereas previous methods create the nanolayer separately and add it to the substrate later, thus reducing performance due to added steps that require additional handling of the materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis really opens up an avenue for futuristic devices, and it has quite a number of potential applications,\u201d says <strong>Emmanuel Okogbue \u201919MS<\/strong>, a doctoral student in UCF\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ece.ucf.edu\/\">Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering<\/a> who helped develop the material and is lead author on the new study.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese range from electric cords that stretch and don\u2019t break, to stretchable solar cells, smart thermotherapeutic pads that provide controlled heat to patients, smart jackets and e-textiles that monitor heart rates and muscle activity, electronic skin patches that can allow doctors to remotely monitor a person\u2019s health and more,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Jung says the inspiration for using kirigami came from the interdisciplinary nature of his research in material sciences where he examines many different fields to bring out new ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The material has held up to performance tests where it was stretched back and forth a thousand times without tearing or a loss in performance.<\/p>\n<p>The lengths and locations of the kirigami cuts that optimized the material\u2019s stretchability were determined using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/modeling-simulation\/\">computer simulations<\/a> performed by collaborators at Seoul National University in South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>The technology is still several years from reaching the market, the researchers say, and they are working on ways to improve it by experimenting with different types of cuts and using materials with greater electrical conductivity.<\/p>\n<p>Co-authors of the study also included Sang Sub Han, a visiting doctoral student from Seoul National University; Tae-Jun Ko, a postdoctoral associate in UCF\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center; Hee-Suk Chung, with the Korea Basic Science Institute; Jinwoo Ma, with Seoul National University; Mashiyat Sumaiya Shawkat, a doctoral student in UCF\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ece.ucf.edu\/\">Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering<\/a>; Jung Han Kim, a postdoctoral associate in UCF\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center; Jong Hun Kim, with Seoul National University; Eunji Ji, with Yonsei University; Kyu Hwan Oh, with Seoul National University; Lei Zhai, a professor in UCF\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/chemistry\/\">Department of Chemistry<\/a> and director of UCF\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center; and Gwan-Hyoung Lee, with Seoul National University.<\/p>\n<p>Jung received his doctoral degree in materials science and engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, his master\u2019s degree in materials science and engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, his bachelor\u2019s degree in materials science and engineering from Seoul National University in South Korea, and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Yale University.
