Fig. 3: Mechanical and electrical properties of SIH fibers.
From: Intelligent perceptual textiles based on ionic-conductive and strong silk fibers
a Strain-stress curves of SIH fibers with various concentrations of [Emim]BF4. b Strain-stress curves of SIH fibers treated with different stretching ratios during the preparation process. c Conductivity versus [Emim]BF4 concentration plots of SIH fibers. The error bars show the standard deviation (n = 3 for each group). d–f Evolution of the current when the SIH fiber is pressed (d), bent (e), stretched (f), showing the stable conductivity under mechanical deformations. The insets show the corresponding images.
