The technology of creating patterned flexible electrodes based on single-walled carbon nanotubes and polydimethylsiloxane was demonstrated in this paper. A series of experiments were carried out to study whether the percolation affects the conductivity of patterned SWCNT layers. It was found that in patterns with the linewidth above 1 μm and the cell size above 50 μm the random character of SWCNT networks may be neglected. The impact of bending on the grid conductivity was studied. We observed a very moderate increase of resistance below 5% under the strain up to 4 %, which is comparable with the previous results for continuous SWCNT layers and shows the improvement in comparison with the previous reports on patterned SWCNT layers.
