Electrical performance evolution and fatigue mechanisms of silver-filled polymer ink under uniaxial cyclic stretch

Abstract: Flexible hybrid electronics rely upon compliant interconnects in order to maintain performance integrity in cases that require repeated elongation, including repeated stretching. A class of such conductive interconnects are composites of polymer with conductive particles that can be stretched at high strains without circuit failure. However, their fatigue response has so far remained largely unexplored and is essential prior to using in health monitoring applications. In this research, a stretchable silver-fil… Show more

“…Therefore, we define the fatigue life N f by the number of cycles until a R/R 0 of 100 is reached. In a previous work by Cahn et al [47], fatigue life was instead defined by the number of cycles until a R/R 0 of 500 is reached.…”

“…In wearable device applications, repeated elongation (stretching) of up to 30% strain is typically expected [12]. Various conductive interconnect materials have been studied for their electrical performance under repeated deformation, including thin metal films [13][14][15][16][17], metal nanoparticle inks [18][19][20][21], and metalpolymer composite inks [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. One class of metalpolymer composite ink (conductive ink) consists of micron-sized metal flakes embedded in a compliant polymer binder material.…”

“…One way to characterize fatigue of a conductive ink specimen is by defining a fatigue life N f as the number of cycles until a specified normalized resistance R/R 0 (with respect to the initial resistance R 0 ) is reached, and measuring N f for different strain amplitudes. Previous work on the PE 874 ink employed critical normalized values of 500 [22] or 100 [28] to define N f . In each case, a strain amplitude ε a − fatigue life N f curve is obtained [22,28].…”
