摘要
Polymers mixed with conductive fillers hold significant potential for use in stretchable and wearable sensor devices. Enhancing the piezoresistive effect and mechanical stability is critical for these devices. To explore the changes in the electrical resistance under high strains, typically unachievable in single-layer composites, bi-layer structures were fabricated from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and EcoFlex composites to see unobservable strain regions. Spherical types of non-conductive fillers composed of polystyrene and conductive filler, coated with Ni and Au on non-conductive fillers, were used as secondary fillers to improve the piezoresistive sensitivity of composites, and their respective impact on the conductive network was compared. The electrical and mechanical properties were examined in the static state to understand the impact of these secondary fillers. The changes in the electrical resistance under 100% and 300% tensile strain, and their dependence on the inherent electrical properties of the secondary fillers, were also investigated. Single-layer CNT composites proved incapable of withstanding 300% strain, whereas the bi-layer structures proved resilient. By implementing cyclic stretching tests, contrary to non-conductive fillers, reduced piezoresistive influence of the conductive secondary filler under extreme strain conditions could be observed.
