In this paper, flexible and deployable double-sided linear-to-circular polarizers designed on polydimethylsiloxane are proposed for the first time to the best of our knowledge. ShieldIt textile is used as the conducting element of the two designs based on two different unit cell arrays: a loaded cir...
