The invention relates to the technical field of
conductive materials, and discloses a flexible conductive
composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. The flexible conductive
composite material comprises the following preparation raw materials: a
thermoplastic elastomer, a conductive filler,
cellulose nanocrystals, an inorganic salt, an
organic solvent and water. According to the flexible conductive
composite material provided by the invention, the
Pickering emulsion is co-stabilized by the
cellulose nanocrystal auxiliary conductive filler, the
cellulose nanocrystal raw material is easy to obtain, biodegradable, environment-friendly and
pollution-free, the
Pickering emulsion is good in stability, the conductive filler is directionally enriched on an
emulsion interface to form a continuous path, the
bottleneck of filler dispersion is broken through, a conductive
network structure is complete, and the stability of the
Pickering emulsion is improved. The strain sensing response is sensitive, reversible circulation is achieved, the conductive interval is wide, the conductive seepage threshold value is about 1 wt%-2 wt%, when the addition amount of the conductive filler is 10 wt%, the
conductivity is about 25 S / cm, and the
conductivity is improved in a breakthrough mode.
