Metal nanowires, especially silver nanowires, have been recognized as promising candidate materials for flexible and stretchable electronics. Owing to their high electrical conductivity and high aspect ratio, metal nanowires can form electrical percolation networks, maintaining high electrical conductivity under deformation (e.g., bending and stretching). Apart from coating metal nanowires for making large-area transparent conductive films, many applications require patterned metal nanowires as electrodes and interconnects. Precise patterning of metal nanowire networks is crucial to achieve high device performances. Therefore, a high-resolution, designable, and scalable patterning of metal nanowire networks is important but remains a critical challenge for fabricating high-performance electronic devices. This review summarizes recent advances in patterning of metal nanowire networks, using subtractive methods, additive methods of nanowire dispersions, and printing methods. Representative device applications of the patterned metal nanowire networks are presented. Finally, challenges and important directions in the area of the patterning of metal nanowire networks for device applications are discussed.}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Huang, Qijin and Zhu, Yong}, year={2021}, month={Dec} } @article{yao_ren_song_liu_huang_dong_o'connor_zhu_2019, title={Nanomaterial‐Enabled Flexible and Stretchable Sensing Systems: Processing, Integration, and Applications}, volume={32}, ISSN={0935-9648 1521-4095}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201902343}, DOI={10.1002/adma.201902343}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={15}, journal={Advanced Materials}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Yao, Shanshan and Ren, Ping and Song, Runqiao and Liu, Yuxuan and Huang, Qijin and Dong, Jingyan and O'Connor, Brendan T. and Zhu, Yong}, year={2019}, month={Aug}, pages={1902343} } @misc{huang_zhu_2019, title={Printing Conductive Nanomaterials for Flexible and Stretchable Electronics: A Review of Materials, Processes, and Applications}, volume={4}, ISSN={["2365-709X"]}, DOI={10.1002/admt.201800546}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={5}, journal={ADVANCED MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES}, author={Huang, Qijin and Zhu, Yong}, year={2019}, month={May} } @article{huang_zhu_2018, title={Gravure Printing of Water-based Silver Nanowire ink on Plastic Substrate for Flexible Electronics}, volume={8}, ISSN={["2045-2322"]}, DOI={10.1038/s41598-018-33494-9}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, author={Huang, Qijin and Zhu, Yong}, year={2018}, month={Oct} } @article{cui_yao_huang_adams_zhu_2017, title={Controlling the self-folding of a polymer sheet using a local heater: the effect of the polymer-heater interface}, volume={13}, ISSN={["1744-6848"]}, DOI={10.1039/c7sm00568g}, abstractNote={Self-folding of a pre-strained shape memory polymer (SMP) sheet was demonstrated using local joule heating. Folding is caused by shrinkage variation across the thickness of the SMP sheet. The folding direction can be controlled by the interfacial interaction between the heater and the SMP sheet. When the heater is placed on the SMP sheet with no constraint (weak interface), the SMP sheet folds toward the heater. Temperature gradient across the SMP thickness gives rise to the shrinkage variation. By contrast, when the heater is fixed to the SMP sheet (strong interface), the SMP sheet can fold away from the heater. In this case shrinkage variation is dictated by the constraining effect of the heater. In either mode, 180 degrees folding can be achieved. The folding angle can be controlled by varying the heater width and folding time. This method is simple and can be used to fold structures with sharp angles in a sequential manner. A variety of structures were folded as demonstrations, including digital numbers 0-9, a cube, a boat, and a crane.}, number={21}, journal={SOFT MATTER}, author={Cui, Jianxun and Yao, Shanshan and Huang, Qijin and Adams, John G.
