A general strategy for high performance stretchable conductors based on carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires

Abstract

A general strategy for high performance stretchable conductors based on one-dimensional conductive materials is proposed. Our approach involves a combination of prestrain for high stretchability and embedding for electrical stability and smooth surface. The resulting stretchable conductors exhibit superior electrical stability with stretchability to 50% tensile strain and a 1000 cycle endurance test, demonstrating their potential as high performance conductors in stretchable electronics.
