Balanced mechanical properties are always the goal of high-performance general plastics for engineering purposes. In order to develop uniformly dispersed graphene oxide/poly(L-lactic acid) nanocomposites with balanced mechanical properties, a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted graphene oxide was introduced into poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix. The PEG grafted graphene oxide (GEG) was confirmed by the results of fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Then the mechanical properties of the nanohybrids were measured. The results showed that in contrast to the aggregation of GO, GEG could uniformly disperse in PLLA matrix. An intriguing phenomenon is that thanks to the strong interfacial interaction between GEG and PLLA, it exhibits a substantial enhancement of the elongation at break (EB) as well as a simultaneous improvement of the tensile strength (TS), while the addition of GO decreases the EB of PLLA matrix. This work provides a potential industrialized technique for high-performance PLLA nanocomposites

We successfully modified graphene oxide with amino-terminated hyperbranched polyamide (HGO), and obtained a high-performance composite with enhanced strength and elongation at break via cross-linking hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene chains with HGO.

Improved pressure sensing is of great interest to enable the next-generation of bioelectronics systems. This paper describes the development of a transparent, flexible, highly sensitive pressure sensor, having a composite sandwich structure of elastic silver nanowires (AgNWs) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). A simple PEG photolithography was employed to construct elastic AgNW-PEG composite patterns on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. A porous PEG hydrogel structure enabled the use of conductive AgNW patterns while maintaining the elasticity of the composite material, features that are both essential for high-performance pressure sensing. The transparency and electrical properties of AgNW-PEG composite could be precisely controlled by varying the AgNW concentration. An elastic AgNW-PEG composite hydrogel with 0.6 wt % AgNW concentration exhibited high transmittance including T550nm of around 86%, low sheet resistance of 22.69 Ω·sq−1, and excellent bending durability (only 5.8% resistance increase under bending to 10 mm radius). A flexible resistive pressure sensor based on our highly transparent AgNW-PEG composite showed stable and reproducible response, high sensitivity (69.7 kPa−1), low sensing threshold (~2 kPa), and fast response time (20–40 ms), demonstrating the effectiveness of the AgNW-PEG composite material as an elastic conductor.
