Sandwiched film of graphene/silver nanowire conductive layer reinforced by hydroxyethyl cellulose bond layer.

Multilayer nanocomposite film made of different materials has multifunctional properties and is applied in the field of flexible electronic devices. Herein, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) were used as the matrix and thermal conductivity material of the HEC/BNNS (HB) insulation layer and were combined with conductive blade structure graphene/silver nanowires (GA) film to prepare a three-layer HB/GA20/HB film. Using the high mechanical properties of the HEC based film, the tensile strength of the three-layer film is increased to 22.0 MPa, 633 % higher than that of the pure conductive film. The sensor prepared by multilayer film has good bending sensing performance (1500 cycles) and electromagnetic shielding performance (29.3 dB). The heating temperature of HB/GA20/HB film heater is up to 107.9 °C at 20 V. In the HB/GA20/HB film, the external HB layer provides insulation, thermal conductivity and physical support, and the internal GA layer with good conductive and sensing properties is combined to build a multi-functional sensor, which can be applied as a mobile sensor, heater and electromagnetic shielding material in the flexible wearable field.
