Abstract
Abstract Open nanomesh structures with nano/micro-scale geometric dimensions are important candidates for transparent, soft, and stretchable microelectrodes. This study developed analytical and numerical mechanics models for three types of nanomeshes that consist of regular polygons and straight traces. The analytical models described the transparency, effective stiffness, and stretchability of the nanomeshes and agree with the finite element analysis. The mechanical performances of the nanomeshes are compared based on the same level of transparency. The validated analytical expressions provide convenient guidelines for designing the nanomeshes to have levels of transparency and mechanical properties suitable for bio-integrated applications.
