Abstract
The present invention relates to an elastic conductor with high conductivity and stable electrical performance under stretching. The elastic conductor comprises a matrix material; a plurality of electrically conductive structures embedded in the matrix; and one or more particles embedded in the matrix, wherein the particles are configured to release an electrically conductive material upon stretching of the elastic conductor. In a preferred embodiment, each of the particles comprises a core of the electrically conducting material, such as liquid eutectic gallium indium alloy, and an outer shell surrounding the core, such as gallium oxide.
