We developed stretchable Au thin films on elastomeric substrates of polydimethylsiloxane that are designed with sinusoidal, “wavy” features of surface relief. This approach eliminates the compressive strains introduced into the thin films through commonly adopted buckling approach, and therefore can provide both high stretchability and compressibility. Such systems can be useful as stretchable conductors in electronic or sensory devices.
