Hydrogels based on conducting polymers possess vast applications in the area of flexible electronics including strain sensors and energy storage devices. A lot of traditional synthetic routes to robust conducting polymer hydrogels always rely on an in-situ polymerization of the monomers or a processible conducting polymer dispersion, which is neither controllable nor cost-effective. The present work provides a facile method to obtain high-quality conducting hydrogels based on as-synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes through solution infiltration followed by construction of a dual cross-linking network.

RGFP的一篇论​​​​​​​文在Chemical papers上在线出版​​​​​​​

日前，RGFP的一篇论文在Springer旗下的学术期刊Chemical papers上在线出版，论文题目为“Facilely prepared conductive hydrogels based on polypyrrole nanotubes”。论文的作者为李瑜、王艳萍、刘晓琴、王石和井新利教授。

本论文针对传统制备导电高分子水凝胶方法过程复杂、可控性差等缺点，以原位聚合形成的聚吡咯纳米管海绵为导电骨架，通过灌注水溶性高分子溶液、构建水溶性高分子的双交联网络，获得了一种兼具良好机械强度和导电性的水凝胶。(撰稿：王  镇；校对：行小龙)
