Magnetically Engineered Conductivity of Soft Liquid Metal Composites for Robotic, Wearable Electronic, and Medical Applications

Abstract

Stretchable Conductive Composites In article number 2200282, Thanh Nho Do and co-workers developed a fabrication strategy to turn desired areas within non-conductive elastomer composites into conductive ones via manipulation of magnetic liquid metal droplets. This fabrication strategy enabled the creation of composites that have high electrical conductivity, high stretchability, low modulus with one of the lowest filler ratios, and various configurations for a broad range of applications.
