Abstract

A highly stretchable and transparent electrical heater is demonstrated by constructing a partially embedded silver nanowire percolative network on an elastic substrate. The stretchable network heater is applied on human wrists under real-time strain, bending, and twisting, and has potential for lightweight, biocompatible, and versatile wearable applications.
