Abstract

As a natural biological material, wood has renewability, biocompatibility, biodegradability and excellent mechanical properties. This research shows a conductive polymer composed of a cellulose-based flexible film constructed from natural wood and carbon nanotubes. Part of the lignin/hemicellulose of the natural wood was removed by the deep eutectic solvent to obtain a cellulose-based flexible film with a porous structure, and then the carbon nanotubes were infiltrated into the cellulose-based flexible film by vacuum pressure impregnation treatment to obtain the final conductive polymer. This conductive polymer has high conductivity and good toughness, and shows good perception ability under a certain range of strain/stress or human activity conditions. In addition, conductive fibers can be prepared by cutting and twisting the oriented cellulose nanofibers of this conductive polymer. The above-mentioned properties of this conductive polymer provide great potential for its development in electrical-related fields.
