A water‐based silver‐nanowire (AgNW) ink is formulated for screen printing. Screen‐printed AgNW patterns have uniform sharp edges, ≈50 μm resolution, and electrical conductivity as high as 4.67 × 10 4 S cm −1 . The screen‐printed AgNW patterns are used to fabricate a stretchable composite conductor, and a fully printed and intrinsically stretchable thin‐film transistor array is also realized.
