▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Article comprises at least one conductive material and at least one dielectric material. The conductive material and/or dielectric material comprises an activated core shell liquid metal encapsulate network when the core shell liquid metal encapsulate network material is the conductive material and an unactivated core shell liquid metal encapsulate network when the core shell liquid metal encapsulate network is the dielectric material. The at least one conductive material is capable of conducting alternating current greater than 0-20 gigahertz (GHz). The dielectric material has a resistivity greater than or equal to 100,000 ohms-meter to the alternating current. The core shell liquid metal encapsulate network comprises multiple encapsulates comprising a liquid metal core having an external surface, a metal oxide shell that encapsulates the liquid metal core, having an external shell surface; and one or more multi-functional ligands covalently bound to the shell's external surface. USE - Article such as antennas and transmission lines, such as coplanar wave guides, coaxial wave guides, embedded microstrip lines, microstrip lines, striplines, and frequency selective surfaces selected from electromagnetic filters, RF shields, RF reflectors, and polarizers; inductors; electronic switches; electronic filter; conductive vias; or capacitors (all claimed). ADVANTAGE - The core shell liquid metal encapsulate networks does not fail at relatively low strains. The conductivity of such networks is constant or even can improve under strain. The AC system properties such as frequency, polarization, gain, directionality, impedance, insertion loss, return loss and mismatch loss can be controlled under strain. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Article comprises at least one conductive material and at least one dielectric material. The conductive material and/or dielectric material comprises an activated core shell liquid metal encapsulate network when the core shell liquid metal encapsulate network material is the conductive material and an unactivated core shell liquid metal encapsulate network when the core shell liquid metal encapsulate network is the dielectric material. The at least one conductive material is capable of conducting alternating current greater than 0-20 gigahertz (GHz). The dielectric material has a resistivity greater than or equal to 100,000 ohms-meter to the alternating current. The core shell liquid metal encapsulate network comprises multiple encapsulates comprising a liquid metal core having an external surface, a metal oxide shell that encapsulates the liquid metal core, having an external shell surface; and one or more multi-functional ligands covalently bound to the shell's external surface and/or coordinatively bound to the liquid metal core's external surface. The encapsulates' is chemically bound via a linkage comprising a residue of ligands of the encapsulates to the external shell of an encapsulate other than the external shell of the encapsulate to which the ligands are originally covalently or coordinatively bound thus forming the core shell liquid metal encapsulate network: a) the encapsulates' liquid metal core comprises a liquid metal selected from mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), arsenic (Sb), cadmium (Cd), bismuth (Bi), gallium (Ga), indium (In), aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), gold (Au), thallium (Tl) and mixtures; b) encapsulates' shell material comprises a metal oxide comprising a cation derived from a metal selected from Ga, In, Sn, Pb, Sb, Cd, Al, Zn, Tl, Bi, calcium (Ca), scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), strontium (Sr), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), tellurium (Te), gadolinium (Gd), hafnium (Hf), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), Pt, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Pu and mixtures thereof, and c) the encapsulates' one or more multi-functional ligands comprising a head group that comprises a material selected from the group consisting of thiols, amines, phosphonic acids, alkoxysilanes, halosilanes, carboxylic acids, nitriles, and mixtures. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for using a core shell liquid metal encapsulate network to control the properties of an article, which involves using an unactivated core shell liquid metal encapsulate network as a dielectric to insulate one or more of article's conductors; activating core shell liquid metal encapsulate network; and/or changing the geometry of liquid metal encapsulate network after core shell liquid metal encapsulate network is activated.
