研究目的
Investigating the development of a self-healing, thermostable, and electrically conducting film that can be healed by electricity by paving aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets onto the surface of liquid-crystal elastomer composite films.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a self-healing, thermostable, and electrically conducting film by paving aligned carbon nanotubes onto the surface of a liquid-crystalline elastomer composite film. The film can be healed by electricity and light, with scratches healing easily under a voltage of 13 V. The healed film retains almost the same mechanical strength as the pristine sample. The method enables the development of self-healing electronics, with potential applications in soft actuators and high-performance supercapacitors.
研究不足
The healing rate might change with sample size, heat capacity, and chemical structure. The study used films prepared under the same conditions with fixed size, heat capacity, and chemical structures.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The self-healing conducting films were prepared by paving aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets onto the surface of CNT-xLCE films, followed by a densification process with ethanol and naturally drying under ambient conditions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The CNT-xLCE film was prepared according to a previous method. Aligned CNT sheets were continuously dry-drawn from a vertically aligned CNT array synthesized using CVD.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The materials include CNT-xLCE film, aligned CNT sheets, ethanol for densification, and a DC power source for healing.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The aligned CNT sheets were paved onto the CNT-xLCE film, densified with ethanol, and dried. The healing process was triggered by applying a voltage.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The morphology and microstructure were characterized using SEM and AFM. The electrochemical properties were investigated by CV and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurement.
