Liquid metal bionic instant self-healing flexible electronics with full recyclability and high reliability
Harry Podschwit,Josef Steinruck +1 more
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors used the coupling of mask and plasma treatment to enhance the interaction between liquid metal (LM) and substrate in a specific position and further explored the enhancement mechanism, and the flexible electronic devices with real-time mechanical and conductivity self-healing performances were fabricated.
