Stretchability features of the gold-coated silver nanowires. IBS researchers found the optimum composition of: gold-coated silver nanowires, a rubber called polystyrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and hexylamine, that maximizes biocompatibility, while maintaining high conductivity of approximately 41,850 S/cm and maximum stretchability of 840 percent.
