Abstract

In this study, a new strategy 'room temperature surface treatment stencil patterning method' is proposed to print silver nanowires (AgNWs) electrode patterns on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates and align AgNWs in the patterns by strain-release assembly method. By using a shadow mask and oxygen plasma treatment, proper wide AgNWs serpentine electrodes were fabricated, and the AgNWs were aligned in the same direction by the strain-release assembly method. The bending test results of the flexible strain sensor showed that the device change of the current was almost linear to the strain with a measurement factor of 6.4, that the device could deform about 17.5% with more than 1000 operations, and that the current of the device stabilized within 2 min. The results indicate that the device has excellent potential for flexible strain sensor applications.
