Description
Summary:Research on wearable electronic devices that can be directly integrated into daily textiles or clothes has been explosively grown holding great potential for various practical wearable applications. These wearable electronic devices strongly demand 1D electronic devices that are light–weight, weavable, highly flexible, stretchable, and adaptable to comport to frequent deformations during usage in daily life. To this end, the development of 1D electrodes with high stretchability and electrical performance is fundamentally essential. Herein, the recent process of 1D stretchable electrodes for wearable and textile electronics is described, focusing on representative conductive materials, fabrication techniques for 1D stretchable electrodes with high performance, and designs and applications of various 1D stretchable electronic devices. To conclude, discussions are presented regarding limitations and perspectives of current materials and devices in terms of performance and scientific understanding that should be considered for further advances. 1D stretchable electrodes and electronic devices are of great importance for developing advanced wearable electronics in the form of daily clothes. The state‐of‐the‐art advances in stretchable conductive fibers are systematically introduced in terms of their conductive materials, fabrication techniques, electronic devices, and applications. An outlook and challenges for future research are also provided.
