Abstract
Supracolloidal chains consisting of nano- or micro-scale particles exhibit anisotropic properties not observed in individual particles. The orientation of the chains is necessary to manifest such characteristics on a macroscopic scale. In this study, we demonstrate the orientation of supracolloidal chains composed of nano-scale micelles of a diblock copolymer through spin-coating. We observed separate chains coated on a substrate with electron microscopy, and analyzed the orientation and stretching of the chains quantitatively with image analysis software. In drop-casting, the chains were coated randomly with no preferred orientation, and the degree of stretching exhibited an intrinsic semi-flexible nature. In contrast, spin-coated chains were aligned in the radial direction, and the apparent persistence length of the chain increased, confirming the stretching of the chain quantitatively. Furthermore, by incorporating fluorophores into supracolloidal chains and confirming the oriented chains with confocal fluorescence microscopy, it is demonstrated that oriented chains can be utilized as a template to align functional materials.

Abstract
Functional inks enable manufacturing of flexible electronic devices by means of printing technology. Silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) ink is widely used for printing conductive components. A sintering process is required to obtain sufficient conductivity. Thermal sintering is the most commonly used method, but the heat must be carefully applied to avoid damaging low-temperature substrates such as polymer films. In this work, two alternative sintering methods, damp heat sintering and water sintering are systematically investigated for inkjet-printed Ag tracks on polymer substrates. Both methods allow sintering polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) capped Ag NPs at 85°C. In this way, the resistance is significantly reduced to only 1.7 times that of the samples on polyimide sintered in an oven at 250°C. The microstructure of sintered Ag NPs is analyzed. Taking the states of the capping layer under different conditions into account, the explanation of the sintering mechanism of Ag NPs at low temperatures is presented. Overall, both damp heat sintering and water sintering are viable options for achieving high conductivity of printed Ag tracks. They can broaden the range of substrates available for flexible electronic device fabrication while mitigating substrate damage risks. The choice between them depends on the specific application and the substrate used.

Abstract
Both liquid metal (LM) and metallic filler-based conductive composites are promising stretchable conductors. LM alloys exhibit intrinsically high deformability but present challenges for patterning on polymeric substrates due to high surface tension. On the other hand, conductive composites comprising metallic fillers undergo considerable decrease in electrical conductivity under mechanical deformation. To address the challenges, we present silver nanowire (AgNW)-LM-elastomer hybrid composite films, where AgNWs and LM are embedded below the surface of an elastomeric matrix, using two fabrication approaches, sequential and mixed. We investigate and understand the process-structure-property relationship of the AgNW-LM-elastomer hybrid composites fabricated using two approaches. Different weight ratios of AgNWs and LM particles provide tunable electrical conductivity. The hybrid composites show more stable electromechanical performance than the composites with AgNWs alone. In particular, 1:2.4 (AgNW:LMP w/w) sequential hybrid composite shows electromechanical stability similar to that of the LM-elastomer composite, with a resistance increase of 2.04% at 90% strain. The sequential approach is found to form AgIn2 intermetallic compounds which along with Ga-In bonds, imparts large deformability to the sequential hybrid composite as well as mechanical robustness against scratching, cutting, peeling, and wiping. To demonstrate the application of the hybrid composite for stretchable electronics, a laser patterned stretchable heater on textile and a stretchable circuit including a light-emitting diode are fabricated.

Abstract
The thermal instability of silver nanowires (AgNWs) leads to a significant increase of the electrical resistance of AgNW networks. A better understanding of the relationship between the structural and electrical properties of AgNW networks is primordial for their efficient integration as transparent electrodes (TEs) for next-generation flexible optoelectronics. Herein, we investigate the in situ evolution of the main crystallographic parameters (i.e. integrated intensity, interplanar spacing and peak broadening) of two Ag-specific Bragg peaks, (111) and (200), during a thermal ramp up to 400 °C through in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, coupled with in situ electrical resistance measurements on the same AgNW network. First, we assign the (111) and (200) peaks of χ-scans to each five crystallites within AgNWs using a rotation matrix model. Then, we show that the thermal transition of bare AgNW networks occurs within a temperature range of about 25 °C for the electrical properties, while the structural transition spans over 200 °C. The effect of a protective tin oxide coating (SnO2) on AgNW networks is also investigated through this original in situ coupling approach. For SnO2-coated AgNW networks, the key XRD signatures from AgNWs remain constant, since the SnO2 coating prevents Ag atomic surface diffusion, and thus morphological instability (i.e. spheroidization). Moreover, the SnO2 coating does not affect the strain of both (111) and (200) planes. The thermal expansion for bare and SnO2-coated AgNW networks appears very similar to the thermal expansion of bulk Ag. Our findings provide insights into the underlying failure mechanisms of AgNW networks subjected to thermal stress, helping researchers to develop more robust and durable TEs based on metallic nanowire networks.

Abstract
The fabrication of gradient ionogels for flexible strain sensors remains challenging because of the complex preparation procedures, and it is still difficult to prepare highly stretchable ionogels (strain > 10000%). In this study, a strategy is proposed to successfully fabricate gradient ionogels and apply them to flexible strain sensors by utilizing the self-floating character of the polysiloxane cross-linker. A gradient ionogel with ultrahigh stretchability (>14000%) is prepared via a one-step in situ photopolymerization process of the precursor with long-chain poly(dimethylsiloxane) bis(2-methyl acrylate) (PDMSMA). PDMSMA, which has a self-floating ability and excellent flexibility, induces a gradient composition distribution in the ionogel, thereby endowing the ionogel with superior stretchability and gradient changes in conductivity and adhesivity from the top to the bottom layer. Because of multiple molecular interactions, the bottom surface of the ionogel possesses good resilience and self-adhesion, whereas the top surface, which has a high PDMSMA content, shows a nonsticky performance. As a result, a singular gradient ionogel having both a sticky bottom surface and a nonsticky top surface is achieved. Furthermore, the flexible strain sensor that is created based on these gradient ionogels exhibits high sensitivity (its gauge factor reaching 5.08), a wide detection range (1-1500%), fast response times, and good linearity. Notably, the detection signal remains repeatable over 1000 uninterrupted strain cycles. The fabricated strain sensor was further utilized to monitor joint movements and physiological signals. This work provides a facile strategy for fabricating gradient ionogels and shows their application potential in the field of flexible electronics.

Abstract
The development of SERS detection technology is challenged by the difficulty in obtaining SERS active substrates that are easily prepared, highly sensitive, and reliable. Many high-quality hotspot structures exist in aligned Ag nanowires (NWs) arrays. This study used a simple self-assembly method with a liquid surface to prepare a highly aligned AgNW array film to form a sensitive and reliable SERS substrate. To estimate the signal reproducibility of the AgNW substrate, the RSD of SERS intensity of 1.0 × 10-10 M Rhodamine 6G (R6G) in an aqueous solution at 1364 cm-1 was calculated to be as low as 4.7%. The detection ability of the AgNW substrate was close to the single molecule level, and even the R6G signal of 1.0 × 10-16 M R6G could be detected with a resonance enhancement factor (EF) as high as 6.12 × 1011 under 532 nm laser excitation. The EF without the resonance effect was 2.35 × 106 using 633 nm laser excitation. FDTD simulations have confirmed that the uniform distribution of hot spots inside the aligned AgNW substrate amplifies the SERS signal.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:36115-36125.

Abstract
The flower of safflower is widely used in Chinese herbal preparations and the non-medicinal parts have been applied to develop a sustainable green method, where AgNPs were generated using a mixture of leaf and stem after 12 h of incubation in the dark. In this study, we intend to improve the efficiency of the reduction reaction and optimize this green method by selecting other non-medicinal parts, such as the bud and the pure stem, evaluating the biosynthesis parameters and harnessing the assistance of ultrasonication. Visual observation and UV-vis spectroscopy confirmed that both safflower stem (SS) and bud (SB) mediated AgNPs (SS-AgNPs and SB-AgNPs, respectively) could be produced rapidly over time under ultrasonication. An alkaline solution could accelerate the formation of SS-AgNPs and SB-AgNPs with greater surface loads. SS-AgNPs and SB-AgNPs of small size could be obtained at pH 8.0 and 10.0, respectively. Large concentrations of SS and SB extract are also beneficial for forming AgNPs of small size. It is in acid and neutral solutions that monodispersed SS-AgNPs and SB-AgNPs can be generated. Characterization of selectively synthesized SS-AgNPs and SB-AgNPs demonstrated their spherical shape with the actual size below 30 nm covered by anions. Both SS-AgNPs and SB-AgNPs exhibited potent antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The MIC values of SS-AgNPs for S. aureus and E. coli were 12.5 and 25.0 μg mL-1, respectively, slightly superior to SB-AgNPs. In an in vitro anticancer assay, both kinds of AgNPs show potent toxicity action against the SW620 cell line with IC50 values of 5.4 and 10.6 μg mL-1, respectively. However, only SS-AgNPs reveal an inhibitory action against the HeLa cell line, where the IC50 is found to be 26.8 μg mL-1. These results provide experimental proof that the assistance of ultrasonication and adjusting the process parameters are efficient methods for promoting the reduction reaction, and both SS and SB mediated AgNPs could serve as a promising antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer agents.

Abstract
Transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) are essential components in devices such as touch screens, smart windows, and photovoltaics. Metal nanowire networks are promising next-generation TCEs, but best-performing examples rely on expensive metal catalysts (palladium or platinum), vacuum processing, or transfer processes that cannot be scaled. This work demonstrates a metal nanowire TCE fabrication process that focuses on high performance and simple fabrication. Here we combined direct and plating metallization processes on electrospun nanowires. We first directly metallize silver nanowires using reactive silver ink. The silver catalyzes subsequent copper plating to produce Ag-Cu core-shell nanowires and eliminates nanowire junction resistances. The process allows for tunable transmission and sheet resistance properties by adjusting electrospinning and plating time. We demonstrate state-of-the-art, low-haze TCEs using an all-atmospheric process with sheet resistances of 0.33 Ω sq-1 and visible light transmittances of 86% (including the substrate), leading to a Haacke figure of merit of 652 × 10-3 Ω-1. The core-shell nanowire electrode also demonstrates high chemical and bending durability.

Abstract
The lack of suitable lightweight current collectors is one of the primary obstacles preventing the energy density of aqueous lithium-ion batteries (ALIBs) from becoming competitive. Using silver nanowire (AgNW) films as current collectors and a molecular crowding electrolyte, we herein report the fabrication of ALIBs with relatively good energy densities. In the 2 m LiTFSI-94% PEG-6% H2O solution, the AgNW films with a sheet resistance of less than 1.0 ohm/square exhibited an electrochemical stability window as broad as 3.8 V. The LiMn2O4//Li4Ti5O12 ALIBs using AgNW films as the current collectors demonstrated an initial energy density of 70 Wh/kg weighed by the total mass of the cathode and anode, which retained 89.1% after 50 cycles.

Abstract
Sensing Technology (ST) plays a key role in Structural Health-Monitoring (SHM) systems. ST focuses on developing sensors, sensory systems, or smart materials that monitor a wide variety of materials' properties aiming to create smart structures and smart materials, using Embedded Sensors (ESs), and enabling continuous and permanent measurements of their structural integrity. The integration of ESs is limited to the processing technology used to embed the sensor due to its high-temperature sensitivity and the possibility of damage during its insertion into the structure. In addition, the technological process selection is dependent on the base material's composition, which comprises either metallic or composite parts. The selection of smart sensors or the technology underlying them is fundamental to the monitoring mode. This paper presents a critical review of the fundaments and applications of sensing technologies for SHM systems employing ESs, focusing on their actual developments and innovation, as well as analysing the challenges that these technologies present, in order to build a path that allows for a connected world through distributed measurement systems.
