Facile Fabrication of Stretchable Electrodes by Sedimentation of Ag Nanoparticles in PDMS Matrix

This study reports a facile fabrication method for highly conductive stretchable electrodes composed of a conductive 0D nanomaterial filler and an elastomer matrix. The local volume fraction of the Ag nanoparticles at the composite surface could be significantly increased by the sedimentation of Ag...
