▎ 摘　　要

As novel piezoelectric materials, carbon-reinforced polymer composites exhibit excellent piezoelectric properties and flexibility. In this study, we used a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer covalently grafted with graphene (SBS-g-RGO) to prepare SBS-g-RGO/styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) composites to enhance the organic solubility of graphene sheets and its dispersion in composites. Once exfoliated from natural graphite, graphene oxide was chemically modified with 1,6-hexanediamine to functionalize with amino groups (GO-NH2), and this was followed by reduction with hydrazine [amine-functionalized graphene oxide (RGO-NH2)]. SBS-g-RGO was finally obtained by the reaction of RGO-NH2 and maleic anhydride grafted SBS. After that, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and other methods were applied to characterize SBS-g-RGO. The results indicate that the SBS molecules were grafted onto the graphene sheets by covalent bonds, and SBS-g-RGO was dispersed well. In addition, the mechanical and electrical conductivity properties of the SBS-g-RGO/SBS composites showed significant improvements because of the excellent interfacial interactions and homogeneous dispersion of SBS-g-RGO in SBS. Moreover, the composites exhibited remarkable piezo resistivity under vertical compression and great repeatability after 10 compression cycles; thus, the composites have the potential to be applied in sensor production.
