Controllable Preparation of Ordered and Hierarchically Buckled Structures for Inflatable Tumor Ablation, Volume Strain Sensor, and Communication via Inflatable Antenna.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2019 Februrary 9
Inflatable conducting devices providing improved properties and functionalities are needed for diverse applications. However, the difficulty in making high-performance inflatable devices is the enabling of two-dimensional (2D) buckles with controlled structures on inflatable catheters. Here, we report the fabrication of highly inflatable devices with controllable structures by wrapping super-aligned carbon nanotube sheet (SACNS) on the pre-inflated catheter. The resulting structure exhibits unique 2D buckled structures including quasi-parallel buckles, crisscrossed buckles, and hierarchically buckled structures, which enables reversible structural changes of 7470% volume strain. The 2D SACNS buckled structures show stable electrical conductance and surface wettability during large strain inflation/deflation cycles. Inflatable devices including inflatable tumor ablation, capacitive volume strain sensor, and communication via inflatable radiofrequency antenna based on these structures are demonstrated.
