Abstract

Abstract : Using a 3D stretching method, a highly elastic reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/polyacrylic ester hierarchically wrinkled elastic transparent conductor (HWETC) is fabricated. Periodic hierarchical N‐rGO layer wrinkling allows the HWETC to show high conductivity (100–457 Ω ◻ −1 ) and transmittance (67–85%) under substantial stretching (>400%) and bending deformation (≈180°), which enables electrothermal actuation and strain sensing.
