Future electronics are expected to develop into wearable forms, and an adequate stretchability is required for the forthcoming considering various motions occurring in human body. Along with stretchability, transparency can increase both functionality esthetic features future electronics. In this study, we demonstrate, first time, a highly stretchable transparent electromagnetic interference shielding layer electronic applications silver nanowire percolation network on elastic poly(dimethylsiloxane) substrate. The proposed shows high wave effectiveness even under tensile strain condition. It network-based be beyond conventional materials broaden its application range fields that require optical or nonplanar surface environment, such as biological system, skin,
