Crack-induced Ag nanowire networks for transparent, stretchable, and highly sensitive strain sensors
Abstract Crack-based strain sensor systems have been known for its high sensitivity, but suffer from the small fracture strain of the thin metal films employed in the sensor which results in its negligible stretchability. Herein, we fabricated a transparent (>90% at 550 nm wavelength), stretchabl...
