Bioinspired Design of Strong, Tough, and Highly Conductive Polyol-Polypyrrole Composites for Flexible Electronics
Source abstract
Abstract
Inspired by the dynamic network structure of animal dermis, we have designed and synthesized a series of polyol-polypyrrole (polyol-PPy) composites. Polyols and polypyrrole are cross-linked by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions to form a dynamic network, which helps to dissipate destructive energy. We have found a clear correlation between the mechanical properties of polyol-PPy composites and the polyols structure. Particularly, the PEE-PPy film shows both high strength and flexibility, leading to a remarkable tensile toughness comparable to cocoon silk. The combination of outstanding strength, ductility, and conductivity enables polyol-PPy composites (especially PEE-PPy) as potential electronic materials for making flexible electronics.
