Laser-Induced Nanowire Percolation Interlocking for Ultrarobust Soft Electronics

• Laser-induced percolation interlocking technology enables the development of robust, open-structured nanowire (NW) electrodes through the photothermal effect at the interface between NW and substrate. • The optimized NW electrode with enhanced mechanical and electrical properties can be used as reusable wearable electronics. • Stable functionalization of the percolation-interlocked NW electrode with various conducting polymers can be achieved, broadening the applicability as soft electronics. • The method is broadly applicable across different metallic nanowires and thermoplastic substrates, significantly enhancing its universality in diverse applications.
