Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a silicone-elastomer that owes its large application in the field of stretchable electronics to its chemical and thermal stability, transparency, flexibility, non-toxicity, compatibility, and low cost. PDMS is a versatile material because it can be used both as an elastic substrate and, after functionalization, as an active material for the design of stretchable electronics. One possible route for the functionalization of PDMS, thus becoming an active material together with numerous metals and semiconductors, is the embedding of conductive nanomaterials. Presently, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and laser-induced backward transfer (LIBT) are used to deposit carbon- based material on polydimethylsiloxane. In this study, we explore and compare the surface treatments, advantages, and disadvantages of both different employed techniques in different environments. The modification of the wettability, elasticity, morphology, composition, and optical characteristics of polydimethylsiloxane will be evaluated by surface techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, and the sessile drop method.
