Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of flexible conductive materials, in particular to a stretchable conductive composite material, and especially relates to a stretchable conductive composite material based on liquid metal and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the development of wearable field, flexible electronic products such as foldable and rollable screens, flexible robots, flexible sensors, and flexible energy converters have higher requirements for flexible conductors. The development of high performance stretchable conductors that are resistant to large deformation, low in the amount of conductive components and high in conductivity has become one of the key tasks. The stretchable conductor with good performance is easy to prepare by compounding the nano conductive filler and the elastomer prefabricated three-dimensional network, and is more and more favored, and common nano conductive fillers comprise: conductive Carbon Black (CB), graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal nanowires, nanoparticles, and the like. Although the conductive material and the elastomer prefabricated three-dimensional network can reduce the using amount of the conductive filler and improve the conductive performance after being compounded, the conductive path is disabled due to the fact that the nano filler in the composite material increases the gaps among the nano fillers under large deformation, and finally the service life of the stretchable conductive composite material is greatly shortened, so that the application of the stretchable conductive composite material in the stretchable conductive field is limited.
Gallium-based liquid metal alloys, such as gallium-indium alloy (EGaIn) and gallium-indium-tin alloy (Galinstan), are nontoxic Liquid Metals (LM), have a low melting point (MP ═ 15 ℃), and high electrical conductivity (σ ═ 3.4 × 10 ℃6S m-1) Low viscosity (. eta. about.2 mPas). In recent years, in order to solve the problem that the nano conductive filler cannot adapt to large deformation, liquid metal is applied to the stretchable conductor. Zhou et al (Liquid metals gels for mechanical-Dual, All-Soft, electric conductors. J. Mater. chem. C2016, 5(7),1586-1590) propose a method of injecting Liquid Metal into channels in a preformed polydimethylsiloxane rubber sponge to prepare a stretchable conductive material, but this method lacks Liquid Metal and matrixThe interface design and easy overflow are not favorable for application and popularization. Chinese patent CN108198665A "a method for preparing elastic conductor" proposes a method for preparing stretchable conductor by blending liquid metal and elastomer, but this method uses a large amount of expensive liquid metal and has poor conductivity, thus making it difficult to apply it on a large scale.
