Soft and Strong: Elastic Conductors with Bio‐Inspired Self‐Protection
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A general reverse‐engineering approach is demonstrated for designing functional yarns that uses woven fabric architecture as a structural framework. The fabric‐based stretchable conductive yarns combine flexibility, high elasticity, low stiffness, self‐protection, and weavability with conventional textile processes. By fine‐tuning the number of elastic
