Polar poly(n-butyl acrylate)-g-polyacrylonitrile elastomer with high temperature elasticity and healability as flexible electronic substrate

Abstract In this work, graft copolymer poly (n-butyl acrylate)-g-polyacrylonitrile with poly (n-butyl acrylate) as backbones and polyacrylonitrile as side chains (PnBA-g-PAN) was synthesized by macromonomer method and emulsion polymerization. The macromonomer was synthesized by atom transfer radical...

description Abstract In this work, graft copolymer poly (n-butyl acrylate)-g-polyacrylonitrile with poly (n-butyl acrylate) as backbones and polyacrylonitrile as side chains (PnBA-g-PAN) was synthesized by macromonomer method and emulsion polymerization. The macromonomer was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization and end-group modification. The chemical structures and thermal properties of macromonomer and graft copolymer were investigated by FTIR, GPC, NMR and TGA, etc. The mechanical properties of graft copolymer elastomer was also measured by uniaxial tensile test. Rheological properties at different temperature and mechanical property demonstrated that graft copolymer elastomer possessed elasticity until 180 oC because of cyclization of cyano groups. Ag nanowires@PnBA-g-PAN composite elastomer was developed, and the resulted material exhibited autonomic healing property on account of segments’ flexibility and dynamic interaction between Ag nanowires (AgNWs) and cyano groups. This is a general method for generation of elastomer with high temperature elasticity and fast self-healing. The composite elastomer has potential application in flexible electronic conductor.
