Abstract
Disclosed herein is a composite prepared by dispersing silver flakes in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and poly(3,4-ethyl-ene-dioxythiophene) (PEDOT):poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PSS) polymer mixture. The polymer blend can provides conductive pathways between the silver flakes, leading to superior electrical properties even at large deformations.

A composite comprising:
- a conductive polymer;
- a water-soluble polymer;
- a plasticizer;
- and
- metal flakes, wherein the metal flakes have a diameter of about 1 μm to about 45 μm.
