Abstract

Highly stretchable conductive composite lines with an ordered zigzag structure are prepared. The high stretchability arises from the interpenetrating network between the polymer gel and Ag nanoparticles, as well as the ordered zigzag morphology. Double transfer of the structures in a perpendicular configuration allows for the fabrication of 2D stretchable electrodes.
