It is a significant challenge to fabricate functional stretchable electronics by directly printing Ga-based liquid metals (GLMs) due to their high surface tension. In this study, a coprinting method is developed, in which GLMs are printed together with elastic materials to overcome their poor printability. The continuous contact and extrusion of the external highly viscous elastic materials with its internal liquid metal inhibits the balling of liquid metal, achieving the liquid metal three-dimensional (3D) printing successfully. A multifunctional stretchable inductance sensor was 3D printed at the first time. This sensor can be used to test axial stretch, deflection, and radial stretch, allowing tracking of the status of soft snake structures such as the end executor of endoscope and fingers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
