title: Roll to plate printed stretchable silver electrode using single walled carbon nanotube on elastomeric substrate.
abstract: Stretchable electronics may open new applications in display, sensors and actuators. To attain the stretchable electronics, the ink formulation should be compatible with elastomeric substrates. Here, we present the formulation of silver nanoparticles and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) for printing stretchable silver electrodes on the elastomeric substrates. Highly conductive stretchable electrodes can be printed directly on the poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (PSBS) substrates by roll to plate (R2P) gravure printer. During the stretching test, R2P printed silver based stretchable electrodes show the high conductivity of 1000 S cm(-1) at 0.27 wt% of SWNT loading. Furthermore, the resistance of the printed silver electrode was not changed up to 15% of tensile strain.
