In order to solve the problem that the wire is difficult to have both elasticity and conductivity, a novel method for producing flexible wires based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) and elastomer has been proposed. This type of flexible wire is fabricated using a pre-stretching process and a glass sheet transfer process. Stretching test shows that after 50 times 0-30%-0 cycles of tensile test, the resistance growth rate relative to initial resistance is only 510%. The flexible wire can be widely used in flexible electronic devices.
