Abstract
An innovative method was firstly used to prepare lightweight, deformable, and stable conductive composites with segregated structure and microcellular morphology inside. The segregated structure enables the composites to achieve satisfactory conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness with low multiwalled carbon nanotube content. Additionally, the microcellular poly(ether-block-amide) beads promote the composites to display lightweight and outstanding deformability, while protecting the continuity of conductive network during deformation process. The elongation at break of composites has reached to be 70%, and the hysteresis during cyclic tension and compression is as low as 15%. After undergoing cyclic deformation behavior in tension and compression modes, the conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of the composites remained almost the same as those original values, indicating well stable conductivity. Thus, this composite with light weight, outstanding deformability and stable conductivity obtained via an environmentally friendly and simple molding process has very advantageous application in flexible electronic field.
