Sedentary lifestyles and evolving work environments have created challenges for global health and cause huge burdens on healthcare and fitness systems. Physical immobility and functional losses due to aging are two main reasons for noncommunicable disease mortality. Smart electronic textiles (e-textiles) have attracted considerable attention because of their potential uses in health monitoring, rehabilitation, and training assessment applications. Interactive textiles integrated with electronic

A highly flexible and transparent conductive electrode based on consecutively stacked layers of conductive polymer (CP) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) fully embedded in a colorless polyimide (cPI) is achieved by utilizing an inverted layer‐by‐layer processing method. This CP‐AgNW composite electrode exhibits a high transparency of >92% at wavelengths of 450–700 nm and a low resistivity of 7.7 Ω ◻ −1 , while its ultrasmooth surface provides a large contact area for conductive pathways.

A new approach to the fabrication of a transparent, stretchable and pressure-sensitive capacitor was developed by employing a single layer of Ag nanowire-based electrodes and a transparent, stretchable polymer.

Crack-based strain sensor systems have been known for its high sensitivity, but suffer from the small fracture strain of the thin metal films employed in the sensor which results in its negligible stretchability. Herein, we fabricated a transparent (>90% at 550 nm wavelength), stretchable (up to 100%), and sensitive (gauge factor (GF) of 30 at 100% strain) strain gauge by depositing an encapsulated crack-induced Ag nanowire (AgNW) network on a hydroxylated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) film. Str

Transparent electrodes based on conventional indium-tin oxide (ITO) can hardly meet the requirements of future generations of stretchable electronic devices, including artificial skins, stretchable displays, sensors, and actuators, because they cannot retain high conductivity under substantial stretching and bending deformation. Here we suggest a new approach for fabricating highly stretchable and transparent electrodes with good stability in environments where they would be stretched repeatedly

Realization of devices with enhanced stretchability and waterproof properties will significantly expand the reach of electronics. To this end, we herein fabricate an elastic transparent conductor that comprises silver nanowires (AgNWs) on a hydroxylated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate covered by polyurethane urea (PUU), which is fully compatible with both materials. Carboxylic acid groups of PUU was designed to form hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl groups of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) on the A

Network structures of metal nanowires are a promising candidate for producing a wide range of flexible electronic devices, but only if they can be suitably patterned and retained on various materials. Here we present a new approach to the patterning of metal nanowires by employing intense-pulsed-light (IPL) irradiation to reduce the process to just two steps: irradiation and the subsequent removal of nonirradiated nanowires. This ultrasimple method eliminates the need to employ chemical reagents

A transparent electrode comprising Ag nanowires and a polyurethane equipped with Diels–Alder adducts as crosslinkers was successfully fabricated to realize a rapidly amendable electrode.

Abstract The emergence of high-form-factor electronics has led to a demand for high-density integration of inorganic thin-film devices and circuits with full stretchability. However, the intrinsic stiffness and brittleness of inorganic materials have impeded their utilization in free-form electronics. Here, we demonstrate highly integrated strain-insensitive stretchable metal-oxide transistors and circuitry (442 transistors/cm 2 ) via a photolithography-based bottom-up approach, where transistor

A stretchable and photo-induced healable transparent electrode is achieved by using a combination of silver nanowires and thermoplastic polyurethane.
