Electronic textile (e-textile) allows for high-end wearable electronic devices that provide easy access for carrying, handling and using. However, the related technology does not seem to be mature because the woven fabric hampers not only the device fabrication process directly on the complex surface but also the transfer printing of ultrathin planar electronic devices. Here we report an indirect method that enables conformal wrapping of surface with arbitrary yet complex shapes. Artificial cilia are introduced in the periphery of electronic devices as adhesive elements. The cilia also play an important role in confining a small amount of glue and damping mechanical stress to maintain robust electronic performance under mechanical deformation. The example of electronic applications depicts the feasibility of cilia for 'stick-&-play' systems, which provide electronic functions by transfer printing on unconventional complex surfaces.
电子纺织品（e-textile）可实现高端可穿戴电子设备，为携带、操作和使用提供了便利。然而，相关技术似乎还不够成熟，因为编织面料不仅直接妨碍了在复杂表面上进行的设备制造过程，也妨碍了超薄平面电子设备的转印。在这里，我们报告了一种间接方法，该方法可实现具有任意复杂形状的表面的共形包裹。人工纤毛被引入电子设备的周边作为粘附元件。纤毛在限制少量胶水以及阻尼机械应力方面也起着重要作用，可在机械变形下保持稳健的电子性能。电子应用实例说明了纤毛在“粘贴即玩”系统中的可行性，该系统通过在非常规复杂表面上进行转印来提供电子功能。
