predominance

・High conductivity, and high stretchability for electric wire
・Selective healing of a crack on a wire by “self-healing”function

background

・Requirement for flexible devices with bendability”and “stretchability”
・Conventional conductive elastomer has low conductivity and metal wire is broken by high or repeated stretch

summary

・Wire healing by electric field trapping of metal nanoparticles

application/development

・Electric wire for flexible sensor sheets or stretchable display devices on a curved surface

material

  • Self-healing metal wire on a flexible substrate
  • Healing mechanism using electric field trapping of metal nanoparticles
  • Applications using our self-healing metal wire
