Stretching Silver: Printed Metallic Nano Inks in Stretchable Conductor Applications

Stretchable electronics, recently highlighted as novel devices, attempt the biomimicry of humans? stretchable skin while maintaining full functionality. The stretchability of electronic devices overcomes restrictions on applications for flexible electronics and provides even more options for applications since stretchability ensures that electronic devices are conformable to any curved surface and can even be wrapped around irregularly shaped objects and attached onto surfaces, stretching out and restoring back regularly or irregularly [1]-[4].
