“…In another study, Yang et al [7] have prepared silicone rubber ablative composites with zirconia and showed the incorporation of zirconia increased the tensile strength of the composites. Many of the research works in literature have used synthetic plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), [8] poly(diazoaminobenzene) (PDAAB), [9] and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) [10] for the preparation of flexible and conductive devices which may hinder their industrial-scale production in terms of renewability, high production cost and sustainability. In our study ENR was used as a elastomeric biopolymer matrix, due to its biocompatibility, abundance in nature and low production cost.…”

The conductive and stretchable films with improved hardness are suitable for the fabrication of flexible electronic devices. This study describes the sol–gel technique to prepare a novel conductive and flexible film consisting of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), doped polyaniline (PD) and zirconia. The zirconia networks were directly synthesized in‐situ in ENR/PD solution and flexible conductive composite film with improved hardness was obtained. The morphology study revealed the size of PD decreased significantly from 77.89 ± 43.95 nm to 4.32 ± 1.13 nm and highest electrical conductivity of 1.9 × 10−3 S/cm was achieved with 10 wt.% percolation threshold of zirconia precursor. The binding energy of Zr3d5/2 and Zr3d3/2 decreased, suggesting that zirconia was converted to the lower oxidation state. Furthermore, the shape of PD changed from spherical to rod‐like structure with root mean square value of 2 nm, while the hardness and reduced modulus improved to 1.72 MPa and 36.7 MPa, respectively.
