论文摘要：In this study, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-modified liquid metal (LM) particles were formulated into a mixed-solvent system comprising ethanol (EtOH), 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PG), and a trace amount of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). This design addresses the instability, poor wetting/adhesion on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and limited rheological tunability of conventional LM inks for screen printing. By regulating solvent evaporation during drying, the system enables coordinated control over wettability, viscosity, shear-thinning behavior, and drying-induced film formation. At an LM:PVP weight ratio of 20:1, the contact angle on PDMS decreased from 115° to 17.8°. The ink exhibited pronounced shear-thinning characteristics with tunable viscosity in the range of 1000–3000 cP, meeting the screen-printing requirements of facile mesh passage and rapid setting. Following laser activation, the printed conductive patterns demonstrated stable electrical performance, with a resistance drift of less than 1% after 14 days of storage and a ΔR/R0 of less than 1% after 3000 bending cycles at a bending diameter of 1 cm. Furthermore, a resistance drift of less than 3% was observed after 1000 stretching cycles at 30% strain. This study proposes a viable materials and processing strategy for the reliable screen printing of LM:PVP ink on PDMS substrates toward flexible conductive electronics. The motion-monitoring test is presented only as a preliminary proof-of-concept demonstration of motion-induced electrical resistance response, rather than as a sensor performance evaluation.
