Abstract
, high optical transmittance of 85.1%, and a small inner/outer critical bending radius of 1 mm. In addition, the Ag NW-embedded SF showed a constant resistance change during repeated bending, folding, and rolling because the connectivity of the Ag NW embedded into the SF substrate was well maintained. Furthermore, the biocompatible and biodegradable Ag NW-embedded SF substrate served as a flexible interconnector for wearable electronics. The high performance of the transparent and flexible heater demonstrated that an Ag NW-embedded SF-based heater can act as a biocompatible and biodegradable substrate for wearable heaters for the human body.
