Abstract
Provided is an electrically conductive elastomer with high stretchability and high durability. A method of synthesizing an electrically conductive elastomer includes (a) preparing a eutectic solvent by mixing quaternary ammonium salt and organic acid, and (b) adding and blending the eutectic solvent with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), a photocuring agent, and a crosslinker and performing photopolymerization.
Claims11
A method of synthesizing an electrically conductive elastomer, the method comprising:
- (a) preparing a eutectic solvent by mixing and causing reaction between quaternary ammonium salt and organic acid;
- and
- (b) adding and blending the eutectic solvent with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), a photocuring agent, and a crosslinker and then performing photopolymerization.
An electrically conductive elastomer in which poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) nanoparticles are dispersed in an ionic conductor matrix formed from a eutectic solvent prepared by causing reaction between quaternary ammonium salt and organic acid, wherein PEDOT:PSS comprises a linear quinoid structure from which some of PSS is removed.
