In article number 1702170 , Xu Hou and co‐workers show a universal strategy for building flexible microfluidic devices with applications in strain sensors and pressure‐flow regulating devices. These devices exhibit superior mechanical deformability, including high strain and recovery ability. With further surface physicochemical modification, the devices can also gain anti‐fouling properties for a broad range of potential industrial and biomedical applications.
