Abstract

The present invention provides a compressible electrode comprising a stably deformable polymer layer comprising a first outer surface, a second outer surface and at least one deformed portion formed as at least one indentation in the first outer surface and at least one corresponding protrusion in the second outer surface, and at least one non-deformed portion. The electrode further comprises at least one stretchable conductor layer arranged on or within the stably deformable polymer layer at the deformed portion and/or at the non-deformed portion. Further, the stably deformable polymer layer is stably deformed at the at least one deformed portion. The electrode further comprises an elastic material arranged on the first outer surface such that the elastic material fills the at least one indentation.
