▎ 摘  要

High-performance piezoresistive materials can detect pressures in the finger-sensing regime (0 kPa to 100 kPa). Piezoresistive nanocomposites of poly(phenylmethylsiloxane) (PPMS)-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (P-GNPs) as conductive filler and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as polymer matrix have been prepared and their electrical, elastic, and piezoresistive properties investigated. GNPs were pi-pi stacked with PPMS by noncovalent functionalization, and P-GNPs/PDMS nanocomposites were prepared by solution casting. The results showed that P-GNPs with sandwiched nanostructures (PPMS/GNPs/PPMS) exhibited improved dispersibility and compatibility in the PDMS matrix. Compared with GNPs/PDMS nanocomposites, low percolation threshold (2.96 vol.%) was obtained for the P-GNPs/PDMS nanocomposites. P-GNPs/PDMS nanocomposite with 3.00 vol.% P-GNPs showed remarkable negative piezoresistivity with high sensitivity of -105.22 x 10(-3) kPa(-1) (0 kPa to 10 kPa), low Young's modulus of 408.26 kPa, and high electrical conductivity of 1.28 x 10(-6) S/m. These results demonstrate a simple and low-cost method for preparation of high-performance nanocomposites and facilitate wide application of such piezoresistive materials, especially in cheap and flexible tactile sensors.
