Fig. 1. Highly stretchable, MED-ET fabricated by soaking process of tough self-healing stretchable Ag ink. (a) Schematic showing the highly stretchable, MED-ET fabricated via a simple soaking process. The conductive ink consists of a self-healing polymer, organic solvents (MIBK), and Ag flakes. (b) Optical microscopy image of the fabric before (top) and after (bottom) the soaking process. The scale bar is 50 μm (c) cross-sectional SEM image of the textile before and after the soaking process; the scale bars are 50 μm.
