      Conductor and Its Applications.

AB  - Stretchable electronics have progressed greatly and have found their way into 
      various applications, thus resulting in a growing demand for high-quality 
      stretchable conductors. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is the mostly frequently 
      exploited elastomeric substrate for the construction of a stretchable and 
      conductive platform because of its valuable features, such as superb stretch 
      ability, high transparency, and reliable biocompatibility. However, the weak 
      adhesion between the PDMS substrate and the conductive components has always been 
      an intractable issue which undermines the good and stable performance of the 
      resultant devices. We proposed a quasi in situ polymerization method to 
      effectively build a tight and stable attachment between copper nanowire (Cu NW) 
      and the PDMS substrate. The Cu NWs/PDMS conductors show excellent conductivity 
      and antioxidation stability (R/R0 < 1.4 for 50 days in air), enhanced interface 
      adhesion, and stretch ability (80% strain, R/R0  approximately  5), without any complicated 
      preconfiguration of the PDMS substrates. For application demonstration, the Cu 
      NWs/PDMS conductor was deployed as the stretchable electric wiring to illuminate 
      a light-emitting diode. Furthermore, a stretchable capacitive strain sensor was 
      fabricated using the Cu NWs/PDMS as electrodes. The sensor possessed a gauge 
      factor of 0.82 and the minimum detection limit of 1% strain.
