摘要

In this study, pyrene-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was synthesized and noncovalently grafted onto the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (mwCNTs) via π–π stacking interactions between the pyrene groups and the mwCNTs. The grafted CNTs exhibited excellent water dispersibility and could be stably incorporated into the aqueous dispersion of the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS), enabling the fabrication of uniform composite conductive films. These films exhibit rapid actuation in response to temperature changes induced by an applied electric field, and are characterized by volumetric contraction. The results indicated that the incorporation of grafted CNTs significantly improved the electrical conductivity, decreased the mechanical shrinkage stress, and improved the applied voltage/temperature response performance of the composite films. In addition, considering the potential applications in low-voltage-driven electrochemical actuators and capacitive energy storage, the energy storage capability and interfacial charge transfer behavior of the composite film electrodes were investigated via electrochemical characterization. On the basis of the aforementioned properties, flexible polyethylene substrates with electrically driven physical actuators and composite film origami design actuators were fabricated, which demonstrated a fast response.
