Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermoelectric material includes a stretchable polymer, and a thermoelectric structure and an electrically conductive material that are mixed together with the stretchable polymer. The thermoelectric material may be applied to self-power generating wearable electronic apparatuses.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A thermoelectric material, comprising: a stretchable polymer; and a thermoelectric structure and electrically conductive material that are mixed together in the stretchable polymer, the thermoelectric structure including a carbon-containing material, wherein the carbon-containing material includes carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotubes are arranged in an array, and lengths of the carbon nanotubes are parallel to each other. 2. The thermoelectric material of claim 1 , wherein the stretchable polymer includes at least one of poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) (SIS), poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS), polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), polyurethane (PU), poly(dimetylsiloxane) (PDMS), polyurethane acrylate (PUA), perfluoropolyether (PFPE), polyester (PE), polybutadiene (PB), and polyisoprene. 3. The thermoelectric material of claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive material includes metal nanoparticles. 4. The thermoelectric material of claim 3 , wherein the carbon nanotubes embedded in the stretchable polymer, and the metal nanoparticles are adsorbed on the carbon nanotubes. 5. The thermoelectric material of claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive material includes at least one of a carbon nanomaterial and a metallic material. 6. The thermoelectric material of claim 5 , wherein the metallic material includes at least one of gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), aluminum (Al), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), and ruthenium (Ru). 7. The thermoelectric material of claim 1 , wherein the stretchable polymer has uniaxial stretchability in a first direction that corresponds to a length of the stretchable polymer, and the first direction crosses a direction of the lengths of the carbon nanotubes. 8. The thermoelectric material of claim 1 , wherein the stretchable polymer includes at least one of poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) (SIS), poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS), polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), polyurethane (PU), polyurethane acrylate (PUA), perfluoropolyether (PFPE), polybutadiene (PB), and polyisoprene.
