Modifying native nanocellulose aerogels with carbon nanotubes for mechanoresponsive conductivity and pressure sensing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mechanically excellent native cellulose nanofibers that are cleaved from plant cell walls have been modified by functionalized few-walled carbon nanotubes for hybrid nanofiber/nanotube aerogels. They show elastic mechanical behavior in combination with reversible electrical response under compression allowing responsive conductivity and pressure sensing. The concept combines wide availability of nanocellulosics and electrical functionality of carbon nanotubes synergistically.

Inorganic hollow nanotube aerogels by atomic layer deposition onto native nanocellulose templates.
Hollow nano-objects have raised interest in applications such as sensing, encapsulation, and drug-release. Here we report on a new class of porous materials, namely inorganic nanotube aerogels that, unlike other aerogels, have a framework consisting of inorganic hollow nanotubes. First we show a preparation method for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and aluminum oxide nanotube aerogels based on a...

This paper reports the strain sensitivity of flexible, electrically conductive nanostructuredcellulose which was prepared by modification of bacterial cellulose with double-walled carbonnanotubes (DWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The electrical conductivitydepends on the modifying agent and its dispersion process. The conductivity of the samplesobtained from...
متن کاملElectrical behaviour of native cellulose nanofibril/carbon nanotube hybrid aerogels under cyclic compression.
Hybrid aerogels consisting of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and modified few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWCNT) are investigated under cyclic mechanical compression to explore "electrical fatigue". For this purpose the FWCNTs were hydrophilized, thus promoting their aqueous dispersibility to allow FWCNT/CNF hybrid hydrogels, followed by freeze-drying to obtain hybrid aerogels. The optimized compositi...
متن کاملHigh surface area carbon aerogels as porous substrates for direct growth of carbon nanotubes.
Novel carbon composites are fabricated through catalyzed CVD growth of carbon nanotubes directly on the inner surfaces of monolithic carbon aerogel (CA) substrates. Uniform CNT yield is obtained throughout the internal pore volume of CA monoliths with macroscopic dimensions. These composites possess large surface areas (>1000 m(2) g(-1)) and exhibit enhanced electrical conductivity following CN...
