Fig. 4

a, b Optical and SEM images of the AgNS-AgFL-SR (Ag = 44 vol%, THF peroxide = 15 mL) nanocomposite after breaking and healing. Schematics of the healable AgNS network are also provided. c The resistance change of the AgNS-AgFL-SR nanocomposite during a breaking/healing cycle. An optical image at each step is also provided. d The normalized electrical conductivity of the AgNS-AgFL-SR nanocomposite is shown as a function of the breaking/healing cycles. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the data.
