Tailoring fractal structure via 3D printing to achieve flexible stretchable electrodes based on Ecoflex/CNT/CF

Materials Today Communications 2024 Volume 38, Article 107721

Flexible electrodes are crucial for the widespread application of flexible electronics. Flexible stretchable electrodes are a research hotspot for finding a solution for the inability of flexible electrodes to withstand large deformations. In this study, the suitability of silicone rubber (Ecoflex), carbon nanotube (CNT), and carbon fiber (CF) composite materials for flexible devices and their ratios were evaluated for the first time. 3D-printed electrodes based on fractal structures with tensile insensitivity and high linearity were prepared to achieve integrated stretching of flexible devices. To demonstrate the benefits and impact of fractal structures on electrode performance, we fabricated flexible stretchable electrodes…
