Based on aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a highly stretchable and conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/ MWCNTs composite fiber has been fabricated through a simple, effective and environmental friendly method. The prepared fiber shows excellent stretchability (up to 360% strain) and conductivity (4 S/m) with only around 2wt% of MWCNTs. In addition, the prepared fiber exhibits increased conductivity under tensile strain and cyclic stretching, which makes it an interesting candidate for a wide variety of applications in electronics. An application as conductive wires demonstrates that the prepared fiber will provide a new possibility for the development of next generation electronics.
