Research on liquid metals has been steadily garnering more interest in recent times, especially in flexible electronics applications because of their properties like possessing high conductivity and being liquid state at room temperature. The unique properties afforded by such materials at low temperatures can compensate for the limitations of stretchable electronic devices, particularly robustness and their fluidic property, which can enhance the flexibility and deformation of these devices. Therefore, interest in liquid-metal nanoparticles and liquid metals with nanocomposites has enabled research into their fabrication technologies as well as utilisation in fields such as chemistry, polymer engineering, computational modelling, and nanotechnology. In particular, in flexible and stretchable electronic device applications, the research attention is focused on the fabrication methodologies of liquid-metal nanoparticles and liquid metals containing nanocomposites. This review attempts to summarise the available stretchable and flexible electronics applications that use liquid-metal nanoparticles as well as liquid metals with nanomaterial additives.
近年来，对液态金属的研究兴趣一直在稳步增长，特别是在柔性电子应用领域，因为它们具有高导电性且在室温下呈液态等特性。这类材料在低温下所具有的独特性能可以弥补可拉伸电子设备的局限性，尤其是其坚固性和流体特性，这能够增强这些设备的柔韧性和可变形性。因此，对液态金属纳米颗粒以及含有纳米复合材料的液态金属的兴趣促使了对其制造技术以及在化学、聚合物工程、计算建模和纳米技术等领域应用的研究。特别是在柔性和可拉伸电子设备应用中，研究重点集中在液态金属纳米颗粒以及含有纳米复合材料的液态金属的制造方法上。本综述试图总结利用液态金属纳米颗粒以及含有纳米材料添加剂的液态金属的现有可拉伸和柔性电子应用。
