▎ 摘  要

It remains a huge challenge to create advanced elastomers combining high strength and great toughness. Despite enhanced strength and stiffness, elastomeric nanocomposites suffer notably reduced extensibility and toughness. Here, inspired by the concept of sacrificial bonding associated with many natural materials, a novel interface strategy is proposed to fabricate elastomer/graphene nanocomposites by constructing a strong yet sacrificial interface. This interface is composed of pyridine-Zn2+-catechol coordination motifs, which is strong enough to ensure uniform graphene dispersion and efficient stress transfer from matrix to fillers. Moreover, they are sacrificial under external stress, which dissipates much energy and facilitates chain orientation. As a result, the strength, modulus, and toughness of the elastomeric composites are simultaneously strikingly enhanced relative to elastomeric bulk. This work suggests a promising methodology of designing advanced elastomers with exceptional mechanical properties by engineering sacrificial bonds into the interface.
