Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2013 Jul 22;52(30):7718-23. doi: 10.1002/anie.201301941. Epub 2013 Jun 7.

Abstract

Light to wear: Aluminum coated fibrous materials with excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical endurance are fabricated at room temperature by a chemical solution process. The resulting aluminum-coated conductive papers and threads can be used in electric circuits for flexible and wearable electronics.

Keywords: aluminum; conductive fibrous materials; flexible electronics; solution process; wearable electronics.
