Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, how to prepare stretchable conductors based on geometric structures is a technical problem
With the development of printed electronics technology, it is possible to prepare circuits on the irregular surface of three-dimensional objects by 3D printing, laser direct structure and other methods, but in terms of point-to-point technology, both 3D printing and LDS technology are facing the problem of low production efficiency
In addition, there are still technical bottlenecks in the preparation of circuits on flexible materials

Abstract

The invention discloses an elastic conductor and a preparation method thereof. The elastic conductor comprises an elastic base body and liquid metal, wherein the elastic base body is non-conductive, and the liquid metal is attached to the surface of the elastic base body and is in a continuous spiral winding shape on the periphery of the elastic base body. The elastic conductor is prepared by adopting a torsion forming process. When the elastic conductor is stretched and deformed, the resistance change rate is small, and the elastic conductor has potential application value in flexible electronic devices.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flexible electronics, in particular to an elastic conductor and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The application of stretchable electronic products in daily life has attracted more and more attention. The academic progress of stretchable sensors, stretchable printed circuit boards, stretchable batteries, electronic skins, etc. indicates that stretchable devices have broad market prospects in the fields of health monitoring, smart textiles, and wearable displays. [0003] At present, stretchable conductors are mainly based on composite materials, such as silver nanowires, metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene and other conductive fillers and non-conductive elastic polymer mixtures, and based on special geometric structures, such as horseshoe-shaped circuit, metal Thin film or pre-strained polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) conductive silver nanowire film, spring-like conductive fibe...
