Reversible conductivity recovery of highly sensitive flexible devices by water vapor
Wearable electronics: electrodes healable by water Wearable electronic devices are susceptible to degradation or fatigue fracture, but now the aged electrodes of the devices can be healed by simple water vapor treatment.

Wearable electronics: electrodes healable by water Wearable electronic devices are susceptible to degradation or fatigue fracture, but now the aged electrodes of the devices can be healed by simple water vapor treatment.
