Electrically conductive materials that are elastomeric and photopatternable are presented. They are capable of achieving strains of up to 150% and thousands of cycles while retaining a low Young's modulus and low resistance. These compliant electrodes are made by mixing platinum salt into an elastomeric photo‐polymer, exposing the film to UV light and developing, and then chemically reducing the Pt.
