Phase-separated stretchable conductive nanocomposite to reduce contact resistance of skin electronics.

ABSTRACT: Skin electronics, facilitating a high-quality interface between external devices and human skin for recording physiological and/or electrophysiological signals as well as delivering external electrical and/or mechanical energy into the human body, has shown significant progress. However, achieving mechanically conformal contact and electrically low contact resistance at the device-skin interface remains challenging. Here, we propose a material strategy to potentially address such an issue by using phase separation of silver nanowires and silver nanoparticles (Ag NWs and Ag NPs) within a stretchable conductive nanocomposite (NC). This phase-separated NC ensures low contact resistance and high conductivity, which are key requirements in skin electronics, while maintaining excellent mechanica
