In article number 1600117, Yizhen Liu, Xuechang Zhou, and co‐workers present a low‐cost approach for the fabrication of 3D stretchable, compressible, mechanically‐durable conductors by electroless metal deposition from chemically‐modified, 3D‐interconnected, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponges. The elastic nature of PDMS materials and the flexibility of sponge‐like structures open up an alternative path for the fabrication of high performance electrical conductors for flexible electronics.
