Abstract
The surface of native polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was modified into black structures by irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses. Material analysis conducted on the modified areas revealed the formation of silicon carbide (SiC) nanocrystals, as well as multilayer graphitic carbon. Furthermore, electrical conductivity measurements of structures fabricated using various fabrication parameters, suggest that the amount of defect in the formed graphitic carbon affects the electrical conductivity of the fabricated structures. A preliminary demonstration of strain sensing was performed using the structures fabricated, indicating the potential of the structures fabricated by the femtosecond-laser-based modification of PDMS for flexible device applications.
