A kind of preparation method and preparation device of elastic circuit or electrode

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method and a preparation device of an elastic circuit or an electrode. This method uses liquid metal and elastic materials to form a conductive circuit with a template circuit or electrode, an external power supply, and nanometer to micron-sized liquid metal. Under the action of voltage and current, the liquid metal is "adsorbed" on the surface of the template circuit or electrode. , so as to "copy" the pattern of the template circuit or electrode; then, immerse the liquid elastic material on its surface, peel off the elastomer after curing, and then peel off the liquid metal "adsorbed" on the surface of the template circuit or electrode, and get embedded in the Liquid metal circuits and electrodes in elastomers. The method is simple and easy to implement, low in cost and high in preparation efficiency, and the line width of the elastic circuit or electrode can be controlled by controlling the line width of the template circuit or electrode, and the line width is easy to control.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Currently, there are various methods to fabricate liquid metal circuits or electrodes, for example, inkjet printing, microfluidic injection, template deposition, 3D printing, direct writing, stencil printing, etc., all of which have their own unique advantages. Advantages, however, the line width of elastic circuits or electrodes prepared by these methods is not easy to control, the process is complicated, the requirements for experimental equipment are high, and rapid preparation cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to simply and quickly prepare stretchable elastic circuits or electrodes with controllable line width One of the technical research topics in this field
