▎ 摘 要
Copper nanowires (CuNWs) are extremely prone to oxidation, which greatly limits their practical applications, even though they are inexpensive, abundant and have high electrical conductivity. Herein, a facile and novel method is developed to alleviate the oxidation of CuNWs by embedding CuNWs into water-dispersible modified graphene (WGP) sheets to form a uniform hybrid conductive film using a simple vacuum filtration process. The CuNWs and WGP films possess electrical conductivity of 3.19 x 10(3) S m(-1) and 5.6 x 10(3) S m(-1), respectively. With the addition of WGP to form a CuNWs-WGP hybrid film, the electrical conductivity of the CuNWs is further improved to 3.02 x 10(4) S m(-1) due to the synergistic effects of the CuNWs and WGP. The CuNWs-WGP hybrid films show excellent antioxidative stability even after exposure in air for 8 weeks without any obvious oxidation. Then, using this conductive hybrid film, a sandwich structured PDMS/CuNWs-WGP/PDMS flexible strain sensor was fabricated. The strain sensor exhibits good flexibility and stretchability with only less than 15% loss of electrical conductivity over 450 times mechanical bending, and was successfully used to monitor human motion, such as finger bending, swallowing and voice recognition.
