According to a recent report by the Physicists Organization Network, researchers at North Carolina State University in the United States have used silver nanowires to develop conductors with high electrical conductivity and elasticity, which are expected to be made into telescopically deformable electronic devices. The scalable circuit will be able to do anything that rigid equipment can't do. For example, electronic "skin" can help robots pick up some subtle objects. Telescopic displays and antennas can make mobile phones and other electronic devices not affect their performance when they are stretched and compressed. However, such conductors must first have elasticity so that they can still effectively and reliably transmit electronic signals when they are deformed. Dr. Zhu Yong, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the university, and Xu Feng, a doctoral student in his laboratory, developed elastic conductors using silver nanowires. Silver is highly conductive, which means it can efficiently transmit electricity. The new technology is to embed silver nanowires in polymers that can withstand a wide range of stretching without affecting the conductivity of the silver nanowires. Dr. Zhu Yong said that this method of production is actually very simple. The silver nanowires are placed on a silicon plate and a liquid polymer is poured on the silicon substrate. Then, it is heated and the high temperature causes the liquid polymer to become an elastic solid. As the polymer flows in the liquid state around the silver nanowires, the nanowires are "trapped" in the polymer after becoming solid. These polymers can then be easily removed from the silicon plate so that the silver nanowires are also printed to form a stretchable wire. This silver nanowire conductor model is very convenient for use in electronic device manufacturing processes. When the polymer embedded in the nanowires is stretched and relaxed, the polymer surface contains nanowire clasps. The end result is that one side of the composite material that does not contain nanowires is flat, and one side of the silver nanowires undulates to form creases. These wrinkles increase the flexibility of the material by 50% without affecting the conductivity of the silver nanowires. This is because even if the polymer is elongated, the buckle shape of the material causes the nanowires to remain in a relatively fixed position relative to each other. Dr. Zhu Yong said that the new elastic conductor has a higher conductivity and a stable strain range, and can maintain stable performance under repeated mechanical loads. Other telescoping conductive materials are usually stacked on the top of the substrate, and delamination occurs under repeated mechanical stretching or surface rubbing.
