Abstract

Abstract : Carbon nanotube metals in a polydimethylsiloxane composite exhibit distinct electromechanical responses under high tensile strain. In article number1802625, YuHuang Wang and co‐workers demonstrate that long nanotubes efficiently bridge strain‐induced cracks in the composite, maintaining high conductivity even after 1000 stretch‐release cycles, while short nanotubes respond sensitively to shape changes, enabling both motion sensors and transparent conductors to be built from the same carbon material.
