Water-Based Continuous Fabrication of Highly Elastic Electromagnetic Fibers

ACS Nano, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 18(27), P. 17913 - 17923

Published: June 25, 2024

Elastic electromagnetic fibers are promising building blocks for next-generation flexible electronics. However, fabrication of elastic is still difficult and usually requires organic solvents or high temperatures, restricting their widespread applications. Furthermore, the continuous production has not been realized previously. In this study, we propose an ionic chelation strategy to continuously produce with a magnetic liquid metal (MLM) as core polyurethane sheath in water at room temperature. Sodium alginate (SA) introduced rapidly chelate calcium ions (Ca2+) coagulation bath support spinning waterborne (WPU) sheath. Meanwhile, WPU-encapsulated MLM microparticles efficiently suppress fluid instability extrusion core. The resultant fiber exhibits excellent mechanical performances (tensile strength toughness up 32 MPa 124 MJ/m3, respectively), conductive stability large deformations (high conductivity 7.6 × 104 S/m 580% strain), magnetoactive properties. applications have demonstrated by conductance-stable wires, sensors, actuation, interference shielding. This work offers water-based molecular principle efficient green multifunctional will inspire series

Published: Feb. 2, 2023

Abstract Realizing stretchable conductive fibers with a trade‐off between stretchability and conductivity is important for wearables. Fibrous triboelectric nanogenerators (FTENGs) represent promising device wearable power sources self‐powered sensors. However, the relationship outputs of FTENG remains unfathomed. Herein, simple strategy fabricating binary rigid‐soft components dynamic compensation capability reported. Wet‐spun thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/silver flakes (AgFKs) (TA) composite fiber fabricated coated by water‐borne (WPU) thin layer, bridging subsequent liquid metal (LM) coating to obtain TPU/AgFKs/WPU/LM (TAWL) fibers. The TAWL shows outstanding elongation (~600% strain), electrical ~2 Ω cm −1 (~3125 S ), reversible resistance response within 70% tensile strain. Encapsulated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), demonstrated as single electrode maximum output voltage, current, transferred charge 7.5 V, 167 nA, 3.2 nC, respectively. 150% without dropping, demonstrating superiority sustain large deformation degradation but maintain stable outputs. As sensors, can detect joint bending such fingers, elbows, knees, well pressure location identification.
