We employed very long nanowires mixed into nanoparticle thin films to improve their weak crack resistance for flexible electronics. We also measured the dependence of the failure strain and resistivity of the Ag nanowire-reinforced Ag nanoparticle thin films on the wt% and sintering condition of nanowires by means of resistance measurements under tension in an in situ tensile tester. Very long nanowires of over 90 μm suppressed thin film cracking by bridging cracks in both the transverse and…
