Background
Due to their high flexibility and safe physical interaction with humans, soft materials like silicone elastomers have many potential in soft robotics and flexible electronics [1]. One method of 3D printing soft liquid polymers is direct ink writing (DIW). Anisotropy and premature failure can occur when the interfacial force between layers is insufficient, resulting in delamination at stresses below the base material's ultimate strength. Graphene is a one-atomic-layer material with remarkable mechanical characteristics that has the potential to improve composite strength. [2]
