This invention discloses a method for preparing a 3D-printed
impact-resistant elastic conductor material.
Silver particles / silver nanosheets are used as the conductive phase, and polyboron dimethylsiloxane (PBMS) is used as the
impact-resistant material. The addition of a polyhydroxyl-based low-boiling-point
solvent reversibly adjusts the density of the dynamic B-O crosslinking bonds within PBMS and reversibly increases the number of
silanol groups, thereby increasing the
hydrogen bond density and enhancing the printability of PBS without affecting its shock-absorbing effect. This invention utilizes the
reversible reaction principle between the polyhydroxyl-based low-boiling-point
solvent and the dynamic B-O crosslinking bonds to control the decrease and
recovery of B-O density. Simultaneously, due to the
percolation effect of silver
powder particles / silver sheets, the Ag / PBS
impact-resistant elastic conductor exhibits excellent
conductivity. After
vacuum drying of the polyhydroxyl-based low-boiling-point
solvent in the printed pattern, the density of the dynamic B-O crosslinking bonds is restored, and the Ag / PBS impact-resistant elastic conductor regains its good shear thickening effect,
conductivity, sensing performance, and self-healing properties.
