Caption

(A) A local filtration-based nanowire printing process on electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENM) utilizing the capillary action of carbon paper.

(B) The rapid liquid drainage effect by carbon paper prevents nanowire ink from spreading on the ENM, enabling concentrated nanowire printing in narrow areas.

(C) Significant differences in linewidth and uniformity of nanowire traces printed on ENM when placed on glass versus carbon paper.

(D) Laser embedding process to enhance the mechanical stability of the nanowire (NW)–eTPU interface.

(E) Embedding of nanowires due to the photothermal effect of the laser.

(F) Washing durability test showing improved mechanical stability of the NW-eTPU interface after laser treatment.
