Stretchable gold conductors on elastomeric substrates

Applied Physics Letters, 2003
Stripes of thin gold films are made on an elastomeric substrate with built-in compressive stress to form surface waves. Because these waves can be stretched flat they function as elastic electrical conductors. Surprisingly, we observe electrical continuity not only up to an external strain of ∼2% reached by stretching the films first flat (∼0.4%) and ...

Tough-interface-enabled stretchable electronics using non-stretchable polymer semiconductors and conductors

Nature Nanotechnology, 2022
Semiconducting polymer thin films are essential elements of soft electronics for both wearable and biomedical applications1-11. However, high-mobility semiconducting polymers are usually brittle and can be easily fractured under small strains (

A highly stretchable AgNWs@VPDMS–PMHS conductor exhibiting a stretchability of 800%

Materials Letters, 2015
Abstract An one-step strategy has been designed to fabricate the conductive material which was based on the nanocomposite of silver nanowires (AgNWs) and vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane-poly(methylhydrogensiloxane) (VPDMS–PMHS) cross-linked network. The interconnected AgNWs within the reciprocal architecture could effectively accommodate strain

Buckle-Delamination-Enabled Stretchable Silver Nanowire Conductors

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2020
Controlled buckling and delamination of thin films on a compliant substrate has attracted much attention for applications ranging from micro/nanofabrication to flexible and stretchable electronics to bioengineering. Here, a highly conductive and stretchable conductor is fabricated by attaching a polymer composite film (with a thin layer of silver ...

Reduced graphene oxide nanoshells for flexible and stretchable conductors

Nanotechnology, 2016
Graphene has been extensively investigated for its use in flexible electronics, especially graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). To enhance the flexibility of CVD graphene, wrinkles are often introduced. However, reports on the flexibility of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) films are few, because of their weak conductivity and, in ...

Evaluation of Stretchable Conductor for Measuring Clothing Pressure

2014
In this study, we developed a stretchable conductor and evaluated whether it is capable of measuring clothing pressure. The experimental relationship between electrical resistance and strain, and the results regarding the physical effects of the conductor on the textile showed that this device could be used to measure clothing pressure by being printed

Stretchable nanoparticle conductors with self-organized conductive pathways

Nature, 2013
Research in stretchable conductors is fuelled by diverse technological needs. Flexible electronics, neuroprosthetic and cardiostimulating implants, soft robotics and other curvilinear systems require materials with high conductivity over a tensile strain of 100 per cent (refs 1-3). Furthermore, implantable devices or stretchable displays need materials

Stretchable Transparent Conductors: from Micro/Macromechanics to Applications

Advanced Materials, 2019
AbstractStretchable transparent conductors (STCs), generally consisting of conducting networks and stretchable transparent elastomers, can maintain stable conductivity and transparency even at large tensile strain, beyond the reach of rigid/flexible transparent conductors.

Nanomaterial‐Enabled Stretchable Conductors: Strategies, Materials and Devices

Advanced Materials, 2015
Stretchable electronics are attracting intensive attention due to their promising applications in many areas where electronic devices undergo large deformation and/or form intimate contact with curvilinear surfaces. On the other hand, a plethora of nanomaterials with outstanding properties have emerged over the past decades.

A Rubberlike Stretchable Active Matrix Using Elastic Conductors

Science, 2008
By using an ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, we uniformly dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as chemically stable dopants in a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer matrix to form a composite film.
