“…Elastomers can be functionalized using appropriate fillers, such as nanoscale materials or polymers, for application in soft biointegrated electronics (Figure 1c). [ 42 ] This article reviews state‐of‐the‐art technologies for the functionalization of elastomers toward intrinsically soft and biointegrated electronics. First, we classify and describe synthetic principles for elastomers and the types of polymer chains that form the elastomers.…”

Elastomers are suitable materials for constructing a conformal interface with soft and curvilinear biological tissue due to their intrinsically deformable mechanical properties. Intrinsically soft electronic devices whose mechanical properties are comparable to human tissue can be fabricated using suitably functionalized elastomers. This article reviews recent progress in functionalized elastomers and their application to intrinsically soft and biointegrated electronics. Elastomers can be functionalized by adding appropriate fillers, either nanoscale materials or polymers. Conducting or semiconducting elastomers synthesized and/or processed with these materials can be applied to the fabrication of soft biointegrated electronic devices. For facile integration of soft electronics with the human body, additional functionalization strategies can be employed to improve adhesive or autonomous healing properties. Recently, device components for intrinsically soft and biointegrated electronics, including sensors, stimulators, power supply devices, displays, and transistors, have been developed. Herein, representative examples of these fully elastomeric device components are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges and future outlooks for the field are presented.

“…Graphite oxide [ 5 , 11 ] and carbon nanofibre [ 7 ] are other carbon materials investigated in the development of polymer nanocomposites. Recently, (3D) materials that are obtained by the hybridization of 1D and 2D graphene have also been employed as hybrid fillers due to enhanced dispersion as compared to the dispersion problem faced by the individual fillers in polymers [ 12 , 13 ].…”

The reinforcing ability of the fillers results in significant improvements in properties of polymer matrix at extremely low filler loadings as compared to conventional fillers. In view of this, the present review article describes the different methods used in preparation of different rubber nanocomposites reinforced with nanodimensional individual carbonaceous fillers, such as graphene, expanded graphite, single walled carbon nanotubes, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and graphite oxide, graphene oxide, and hybrid fillers consisting combination of individual fillers. This is followed by review of mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break, Young modulus, and fracture toughness) and dynamic mechanical properties (glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature, melting point) of these rubber nanocomposites. Finally, Payne and Mullin effects have also been reviewed in rubber filled with different carbon based nanofillers.

“…The widespread use of electronic and wireless devices, such as mobile phones, computers, TVs, and radio produces interference from electromagnetic (EM) waves, which affects the performance of these devices in terms of speed and secrecy, loss of data storage and their function, etc. 1–13 Such an exponential increase in EMI could adversely affect human health and lead to many diseases such as leukemia, miscarriages, brain cancer, and could even cause death in some cases.
