Intrinsically stretchable conductors form a vital component of advanced soft bioelectronics including implantable and wearable bioelectronics. Among many nanomaterials for the composites, silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have been popular. However, achieving highly conductive and soft composites simultaneously is challenging. Furthermore, because bioelectronics is necessarily exposed to biofluids, preventing Ag NW oxidation and Ag ion leaching is a significant challenge. Here we have achieved a highly conductive, biocompatible, and soft nanocomposite by using silver-gold (Ag-Au) core-sheath NWs and polystyrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) elastomer. We used the nanocomposite to fabricate a customized multi-channel soft cardiac mesh for the diseased swine heart. The mesh could be also fabricated as a wearable device which monitored electrophysiological signals and applied electrical and thermal stimulations on the human skin. |
