%X ABSTRACT We develop highly robust and stretchable conductive transparent electrodes based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) deposited on functionalized chitosan biopolymer substrates. 11-aminounde-canoic acid is introduced as a surface modifier for enhancing the chemical bond. The chemically functionalized AgNW films achieve a low sheet resistance of 12.2£żohm/sq with a high transmittance of 88.9%. In addition, stretchable alternating current-driven electroluminescent devices and stretchable transparent heaters have been fabricated with AgNW/chitosan thin-films which can be cut, stretched, bent, and twisted without performance degradation. With this approach, stretchable electronics prepared on bio-compatible substrates can be easily applied to curved surfaces or human skins. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT We demonstrate highly robust and stretchable transparent conductive electrodes based on the AgNWs/chitosan biopolymer with the organic surface modifier. The films can realize future biocompatible wearable electronics on the human body
