Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based polymer/graphene aerogels with excellent mechanical properties are crucial for broad applications. The creation of such polymer/graphene aerogels remains challenging because of the poor dispersion and compatibility of polymer within the graphene matrix. By using the freezing-directed assembly of graphene under the assistance of surfactant, 3D macroporous polystyrene/graphene aerogels (MPS-GAs) with lightweight, superelastivity (80 % strain), high strength (80 kPa), and good electrical properties have been achieved in this study. The as-prepared MPS-GAs shows excellent electromechanical performance with stable cyclic resilient properties and sensitive resistance responses, thus making the MPS-GAs promising candidates for applications in actuators, elastic conductors, strain/pressure sensors, and wearable devices.
具有优异机械性能的三维(3D)石墨烯基聚合物/石墨烯气凝胶对于广泛应用至关重要。由于聚合物在石墨烯基质中的分散性和相容性较差,制备此类聚合物/石墨烯气凝胶仍然具有挑战性。通过在表面活性剂的辅助下利用石墨烯的冷冻定向组装,本研究制备出了具有轻质、超弹性(80%应变)、高强度(80 kPa)和良好电学性能的三维大孔聚苯乙烯/石墨烯气凝胶(MPS-GAs)。所制备的MPS-GAs表现出优异的机电性能,具有稳定的循环弹性性能和灵敏的电阻响应,因此使MPS-GAs成为用于致动器、弹性导体、应变/压力传感器和可穿戴设备的有前途的候选材料。
