The silver nanowires (Ag NWs) prepared by improved polyol method in 30min were applied to the stretchable strain sensors. Three factors affecting the morphology of Ag NWs were discussed, including reaction temperature, molecular weight of PVP, ratio of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and polyvinyl pyrrolidon...
