  • To create a material with electrical conductivity and multiple stimuli-responsive behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Solution co-blending of PVA and PANI with glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinking agent.
  • Preparation of a PANI-based composite film overcoming PANI's film-forming limitations.
  • Characterization of electrical conductivity and stimuli-responsive properties.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a maximum conductivity of 0.034 S·cm-1 for the PANI-based composite film.
  • The composite film retained good electrical conductivity.
  • Exhibited multiple stimuli-responsive properties controllable by heat, voltage, light, or water.
  • Demonstrated shape recovery within 25 s at 30 V, indicating controlled deformation capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method successfully created a multifunctional conductive composite film.
  • The PANI-PVA composite film offers a combination of electrical conductivity and stimuli-responsive shape recovery.
  • The material shows potential for applications requiring controlled deformation.
