Resistance change of stretchable composites based on inkjet-printed silver nanowires

The fluctuation of the stretched resistance of composites based on inkjet-printed silver nanowires (AgNW) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is controlled by different ratios of a curing agent in PDMS, with an optimized normalized resistance change as low as 4.67% in a 50% tensile testing cycle. The re...

Description
Summary:The fluctuation of the stretched resistance of composites based on inkjet-printed silver nanowires (AgNW) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is controlled by different ratios of a curing agent in PDMS, with an optimized normalized resistance change as low as 4.67% in a 50% tensile testing cycle. The results confirm that the properties of PDMS including the Young's modulus and creep deformation play key roles in controlling the resistance changes of stretched AgNW-PDMS composites based on inkjet-printed AgNW, which opens up applications of inkjet-printable elastic AgNW conductors in stretchable electronics.
