肌や電子素子に負担をかけない伸縮・通気導電フィルム -肌上でつなぎ、蒸れずに5倍伸ばせる構造の開発に成功-

理化学研究所の研究グループは、**500%以上伸縮でき、高い通気性を備えた厚さ約300 nmの異方性導電フィルム(ACF)**を開発した。銀ナノワイヤを規則的な円盤状に配置し、エラストマーのSEBSを含浸させることで、厚み方向には電気を通しながら面内方向は絶縁する構造を実現。さらに、エタノールの揮発を利用して、熱・圧力・紫外線を使わず常温・無加圧で接合できるため、皮膚や超薄型電子デバイスへの負荷を抑えられる。500%以上の伸長や1,000回の伸縮後も導通を維持し、水蒸気透過率は1,200 g/m²/dayに達した。発光素子の実装や手首上での配線接続でも動作を確認しており、皮膚貼付型バイオモニタリング、人工皮膚、ソフトロボットなどへの応用が期待される。

Abstract

As stretchable electronics advance in functionality and application scope, interconnection technologies have become critical. Devices in wearable and soft-robotic systems require thinness, stretchability, gas permeability, and damage-free bonding conditions. Accordingly, interconnection technologies must exhibit similar properties without compromising device performance. Conventional interconnection approaches rarely satisfy these requirements simultaneously owing to constraints such as typical thickness of several micrometers, low gas permeability, and the requirement for harsh bonding conditions (heat, pressure, or ultraviolet). This study presents an ultrathin, highly stretchable, gas-permeable nanoscale anisotropic conductive film (ACF) enabling damage-free bonding. The proposed ACF consists of patterned disks of silver nanowires infiltrated with styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer. The resulting nanoscale film (∼300-nanometer thickness) exhibits mechanical and electrical stretchability exceeding 500% strain with a water vapor transmission rate of 1200 grams per square meter per day. A bonding process based on liquid volatilization enables conformal adhesion to uneven surfaces without heat or external pressure, allowing device-to-skin and device-to-device interconnections. Light-emitting diodes integrated with stretchable wiring (500-micrometer pitch) using the proposed ACF maintained electrical conduction and interwire insulation even under 500% strain.
