Conductive stimuli-responsive colloidal microgels and their film homologues: synthesis using catechol groups as crosslinking and doping agents, and mechano-electrical properties
Résumé
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an oligo(ethylene glycol)-based polymers microgel crosslinked with a catechol cross-linker, said microgel comprises microgel particles, and wherein the microgel particles have a shell of conductive polymer. This composition is able to form cohesive films spontaneously with enhanced conductive and mechano-electrical properties.
