Background:

Developing skin-compatible printed stretchable conductors with both low gauge factor and high durability remains a significant challenge.
Existing materials often compromise conductivity, durability, or skin compatibility under strain.

Purpose of the Study:

To create a graphene nanoplatelet-based colloidal ink using a skin-compatible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) binder.
To achieve stretchable conductors with high conductivity and durability for wearable applications.

Main Methods:

Formulation of a graphene nanoplatelet-based colloidal ink with a tunable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) binder.
Printing conductors onto TPU substrates.
Post-printing treatments including thermal drying and photonic annealing.

Main Results:

Achieved stretchable conductors with conductivity maintained up to 100% strain.
Demonstrated high fatigue resistance under cyclic strains of 20-50%.
Sheet resistances as low as 34 Ω □^-1 mil^-1 after thermal drying, reduced to <10 Ω □^-1 mil^-1 via photonic annealing.
Preserved and tunable stretchability and fatigue resistance after photonic annealing.

Conclusions:

The developed graphene-TPU ink enables the fabrication of highly conductive, durable, and stretchable conductors via printing.
Scalable ink production, adjustable rheology, and tunable properties support high-volume manufacturing of stretchable wearables.
This advancement addresses key challenges in creating advanced electronic textiles and wearable devices.
