- Abstract
Herein conductive elastomers by homogeneous distribution of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a styrene-co-butadiene-co- styrene (SBS) triblock copolymer matrix is reported. The inherent π-π stacking ensures nearly single-layer adsorption of the SBS molecules on the surfaces of MWCNTs, translating into reliable interfacial interactions. The resulting MWCNT/SBS nanocomposites are highly elastic and conductive. It is believed that this finding opens up a new way to fabricate conductive elastomers holding great promise as superior piezoresistive sensors that may integrate a 'touch' function in wearable electronics and computers.
