We demonstrate AgNWs-embedded chitosan biopolymers as stretchable transparent electrodes. The introduction of organic surface modifier improves the adhesion properties between the chitosan film and AgNWs, thereby improving the electrical and mechanical properties of stretchable films. The prepared films exhibits a high transmittance of about 89 %, a low sheet resistance of about 8.4 ohm/sq, and a limited resistance change upon tensile strains. The heating devices based on the conductive films can generate a temperature of 60℃ at a low voltage of 3 V, so it can be applied as a promising personal thermal management device. Moreover, the film has expanded its applications as a strain sensor and has been found to react sensitively and quickly to small external forces. We believe that AgNWs-embedded chitosan films with surface treatment will contribute to the development of high-performance wearable devices with applications such as personal thermal management devices and strain sensors
