Figure 1-1/1-2 (IMAGE) Institute for Basic Science Caption Figure 1-1 Graphical summary of the work. Carbon nanotubes with platinum (Pt) decoration shows high affinity with liquid metals (left), and it results in the uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes in liquid metal, forming stretchable metal composite (middle). The stretchable metal composite has superior mechanical properties than pristine liquid metal, and thus fits to be patterned as consistently-fine (i.e. high resolution), 3D structures (right). Figure 1-2 Photographs of liquid metal (left), liquid metal with carbon nanotubes without platinum (Pt) (middle), stretchable metal composite with Pt decoration on the surface of carbon nanotubes (right). Platinum (Pt) enables the uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes in liquid metal matrix.
