Highly stretchable gallium-indium liquid metal (LM) conductive inks—most notably EGaIn (75.5 wt% Ga, 24.5 wt% In; melting point ~ 15.5°C) and Galinstan (Ga-In-Sn; melting point ~ -19°C)—are core materials for flexible bioelectronics. Because they remain in a true liquid state at physiological and room temperatures, they exhibit near-zero mechanical fatigue and maintain electrical continuity under extreme deformation (> 500–1000% strain).

The main features and electrochemical properties of the Stretchable Ga-In liquid metal are: (1) Fluidic Metal Continuity: Unlike conventional flake/nanoparticle percolation networks that break apart under tension, liquid metal droplets flow and reconfigure under strain, enabling metallic-level bulk conductivity (~ 3.4 * 10^4 to 3.4 * 10^6 S/m) with minimal electromechanical resistance degradation. (2) Self-Passivating Native Oxide Skin (Ga2O3): Rapid spontaneous formation of a sub-3 nm native gallium oxide shell provides mechanical elasticity and non-Newtonian shear-thinning behavior, stabilizing printed patterns and preventing droplet dewetting. (3) Sintering & Electrical Activation: As-printed micro/nano-droplets (LMNPs) are typically coated in insulating Ga2O3 shells. They require mechanical pressure (calendering/stretching), chemical vapor exposure (acid/base vapors), or laser sintering to rupture the oxide shells and form continuous conductive pathways. (4) Autonomous Self-Healing: The low melting point and high surface mobility allow ruptured conductive traces to coalesce spontaneously upon mechanical contact, providing self-healing interconnects for e-skin and soft robotics.

Operation Instructions
(A) Stirring (10 min): The Li-In conductive inks should be completely stirred to obtain slurry uniformity and excellent mobility. 
(B) Screen print is an appropriate coating method and the screen mesh 250-350 is recommended. Normally TPU, SBS, EVA, and other silicone-based materials can be used as coating substrates.
(C) After screen print, the wet film was dried at 80°C for 30 min. The pattern's color will change from grey to off-white.
(D) After fully drying, stretch the substrates to activate it.
