Highly Sensitive and Stretchable Carbon Nanotube/Fluoroelastomer Nanocomposite with a Double-Percolated Network for Wearable Electronics
Abstract
Abstract A smart stretchable material is developed from a composite of carbon nanotube (CNT) and fluoroelastomer (FKM), which is fabricated via an internal melt‐mixer method. A unique, double‐percolated, electrically conductive network is observed with ultralow percolation thresholds of 0.45 phr and 1.40 phr CNT. This provides the CNT/FKM nanocomposites with a wide range of strain sensitivity. Thin‐film nanocomposites at the first plateau of conductivity show an ultrahigh sensitivity with a gauge factor (GF) of 1010 at 23% strain for 0.6 phr and of 6750 at 34% strain for 1 phr. At the second plateau of conductivity, 1.5 phr nanocomposite corresponds to higher levels of strain of 78% strain with ultrahigh GF of more than 4 × 104 and 2 phr nanocomposite to almost 100% strain with GF of 1.3 × 105. The CNT/FKM nanocomposites possess a high elongation at break of 430% and up to 232% strain sensitivity. The unique distribution of CNTs in the polar fluoroelastomer FKM facilitates simultaneous high sensitivity and high stretchability, and improved mechanical strength over reported polymer‐based nanocomposite stretchable sensors. The novel, stretchable CNT‐based FKM conductors have great potential for wearable electronics such as stretchable sensors, stretchable light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), and human motion monitoring.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
