Highly conductive and stretchable polymer composites based on graphene/MWCNT network

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Feb 25;49(16):1612-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc38290c.

Abstract

We have manufactured a highly conductive and stretchable composite by backfilling a preformed graphene/MWCNT aerogel with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). The electrical conductivity of our product can reach 2.8 S cm(-1) with only 1.3 wt% graphene/MWCNT loading, and remains constant after 100 times repeated stretching by 20% and 5000 times bending.
