Abstract
. and a transmittance of 88.6% showing a high performance in mechanical stress tests such as bending, folding, rolling, twisting, and stretching. It also showed a conductive bridge effect where the PEDOT:PSS acted as an anchor or support to Ag NW during mechanical strain and PEDOT:PSS also enhanced the electrical conductivity of the Ag NW. Therefore, to prove the real time performance of the electrode as a wearable device, we fabricated transparent electroluminescence devices and thin film heater devices which are highly flexible and demonstrated excellent performance proving that the AP electrode is more suitable candidate for future wearable transparent devices.
