Green fabrication of Cu/rGO decorated SWCNT buckypaper as a flexible electrode for glucose detection.

As a paper-like membrane composed of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), buckypaper possesses high conductivity, ideal flexibility, large surface area, great thermal/chemical stability and biocompatibility, which has manifested its potential as an alternative support material. However, due to the lack of defects, high quality SWCNT synthesized by arc-discharge method is difficult to be modified with metal nanoparticles for electro-catalysis. In this paper, a novel green strategy has been developed to fabricate SWCNT buckypaper decorated with Cu/reduced graphene oxide (Cu/rGO-BP) for the first time, in which graphene oxide functions as the intermediate between SWCNT and Cu nanoparticles.

Piezoresistive strain sensing of carbon black /silicone composites above percolation threshold.

A series of flexible composites with a carbon black (CB) filled silicone rubber matrix were made by an improved process in this work. A low percolation threshold with a mass ratio of 2.99% CB was achieved.
