Problems solved by technology

For example, in the Chinese invention patent CN113096892A "A preparation method of liquid metal wire and liquid metal wire", the liquid metal is injected into the flow channel of the flexible silicone insulating layer, and the prepared liquid metal wire can be bent multiple times without Fatigue fracture occurs; however, the microchannel and liquid metal injection technology used in it is very complicated to operate and the production efficiency is low
The paper "All-Printed Flexible and Stretchable Electronics with Pressing or Freezing Activatable Liquid Metal-Silicone Inks" [Advanced Functional Materials, 2019, 30, 1906683] uses liquid metal-silicone inks to realize liquid metal-based flexible electronics using a multi-material 3D printing process Full printing of the device; however, the device prepared by this process needs to conduct electricity after mechanical activation (pressing or freezing), and the operation is complicated; at the same time, because of the addition of insulating silica gel, the conductivity is also greatly affected

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid metal-based flexible wire and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of preparation of flexible wires. Background technique [0002] Flexible electronics have great application potential in the fields of soft robotics, OLED, and human surface electronics due to their stretchability, and flexible stretchable wires / electrodes play a decisive role in the development of flexible electronics. At present, the preparation methods of stretchable wires mainly include: 1. The rigid metal materials are prepared into micro-nano sheets or serpentine structures, but this method requires complex preparation processes (photolithography, transfer printing, etc.), and the stretchable range limited (~60%); 2. Mixing nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, silver nanowires, etc.) into stretchable polymers, but the flexible stretchable wires prepared by this method are highly insulating due to the presence of polymers. ...
