Abstract
Deformable porous elastic conductors and fabrication methods thereof, as well as their use in a broad range of applications including electrodes, supercapacitors, antennae, and electrocatalysts, medical devices, soft electronic devices and wearable sensors.
Claims15
A deformable porous elastic conductor comprising;
- a 3D porous elastomeric substrate, wherein a plurality of the surfaces of the 3D porous elastomeric substrate are covalently functionalised with complexing moieties;
- and
- a plurality of metal nanowires, each complexed to at least one of the complexing moieties, wherein the metal nanowires are upstanding, relative to the surface to which they are attached via their respective complexing moiety.
