Method for patterning a self-healing elastomer film, patterned, laser sintered and/or electrical conductivity-improved self-healing film, a multilayer film, an electrical device and use of a programmable laser processing system for patterning a self-healing elastomer film

A method for patterning a self-healing elastomer film, and/or for laser sintering and/or for improving electrical conductivity of a self-healing elastomer film, the method comprising:

• providing a programmable laser processing system,
• providing a predetermined design model in a program code format for forming one or more patterns and/or treatments to program the laser processing system with the design model to cause the laser system to form the one or more patterns, sintering(s) and/or surface treatment(s) to an object, when operated,
• providing a self-healing elastomer film on a substrate,
• at least partly curing the self-healing elastomer film, before processing with the laser, to obtain at least partly cured film,
• providing the at least partly cured film to the laser processing system as the object,
• treating the at least partly cured film with the laser processing system to partly or completely remove solid elastomeric material from predetermined areas with the laser to form one or more patterns, sintering(s) and/or surface treatment(s) defined by the design model to the self-healing elastomer film, and/or to laser sinter and/or to remove oxide layer from a surface of the film to improve electrical conductivity of the self-healing elastomer film.
