RESUMO

Elastomers based on block copolymers can self-organize into ordered nanoscale structures, making them attractive for use as flexible conductive nanocomposites. Understanding how ordered structures impact electrical properties is essential for practical applications. This study investigated the morphological evolution of flexible conductive elastomers based on polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) block copolymers with aligned single- or multi-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs or MWCNTs) and their electrical conductivity under large deformations. Oriented nanocomposites were obtained through injection molding and characterized using two different setups: tensile testing monitored by in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and tensile testing with simultaneous electrical conductivity measurements. Our findings demonstrate that structural orientation significantly influences electrical conductivity, with higher conductivity in the longitudinal direction due to the preferred orientation of carbon nanotubes. Tensile testing demonstrated that carbon nanotubes accelerate the process of realignment of the ordered structure. As a consequence, higher deformations reduced the conductivity of samples with longitudinal alignment due to the disruption of percolation contacts between nanotubes, while in samples with a transverse alignment the process promoted the formation of a new conductive network, increasing electrical conductivity.
