A Strain-Insensitive Stretchable Electronic Conductor: PEDOT:PSS/Acrylamide Organogels
Organogel-based stretchable electronic conductors exhibit electrical conduction even under a large stretching deformation of 300% without electrochemical reactions at DC voltages. The resistance change with stretching is almost strain-insensitive up to 50% strain and it remains at each deformation up to 1000 fatigue cycle. The polymeric conductive paths of PEDOT:PSS are well preserved during the mechanical deformation.
