Abstract
While extensively employed in electronic packaging, the prevailing electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) are currently constrained by their lack of flexibility, excessive manufacturing costs, and limited multifunctionality. In this work, the antimony-doped tin oxide flexible conductive adhesives (AFCAs) were prepared by incorporating the antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles into a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix along with silver flakes. The ATO nanoparticles acted as conductive bridges for sliver flakes to enhance the electrical conductivity and mechanical integrity of the composites. The AFCAs formulated with a mere 60 % Ag and 7 % ATO nanoparticles exhibited an exceptionally low volume resistivity of 2.01 × 10-5 Ω·cm. After 10,000 mechanical bending cycles, the resistance change of AFCAs was only 8 %. Remarkably, the AFCA films also demonstrated excellent infrared stealth capabilities by infrared thermal imaging. This study demonstrates a facile strategy to develop high-performance and multifunctional AFCAs for flexible electrics with excellent electrical stability and infrared stealth capabilities.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
