▎ 摘  要

With the development of wearable electronics, the use of engineered functional inks with printing technologies has attracted attention owing to its potential for applications in low-cost, high-throughput, and high-performance devices. However, the improvement in conductivity and stretchability in the mass production of inks is still a challenge for practical use in wearable applications. Herein, a scalable and efficient fluid dynamics process that produces highly stretchable, conductive, and printable inks containing a high concentration of graphene is reported. The resulting inks, in which the uniform incorporation of exfoliated graphene flakes into a viscoelastic thermoplastic polyurethane is employed, facilitated the screen-printing process, resulting in high conductivity and excellent electromechanical stability. The electrochemical analysis of a stretchable sodium ion sensor based on a serpentine-structured pattern results in excellent electrochemical sensing performance even under strong fatigue tests performed by repeated stretching (300% strain) and release cycles. To demonstrate the practical use of the proposed stretchable conductor, on-body tests are carried out in real-time to monitor the sweat produced by a volunteer during simultaneous physical stretching and stationary cycling. These functional graphene inks have attractive performance and offer exciting potential for a wide range of flexible and wearable electronic applications.
