A stretchable and screen-printable conductive ink for stretchable electronics

Stretchable electronics can offer an added degree of design freedom and generate products with unprecedented capabilities. Stretchableconductive ink serving as interconnect, is a key enabler for stretchable electronics. This paper focuses on the development of a stretchable and screen printableconductive ink which could be stretched more than 500 cycles at 20% strain while maintaining electrical and mechanical integrity. The screen printable and stretchableconductive ink developed in this paper marks an important milestone for this nascent technology.
