Ionogels, as emerging stretchable conductor materials, have garnered significant attention for their potential applications in flexible electronics, particularly wearable strain sensors. However, a persistent challenge optimizing ionogels lies achieving balance between enhanced mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. In this study, we successfully addressed by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into ionogels, simultaneous improvement the conductivity (2.67 mS/cm) (400.83 kPa). The CNTs served dual purposes, acting continuous conductive pathway to facilitate signal transmission reinforcing bolster robustness of ionogels. Additionally, polymer network, composed acrylic acid (AA) 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), established purely physical cross-linking network characterized dense hydrogen bonding, which ensured sufficient toughness within Notably, assembled when utilized wireless sensors, demonstrated exceptional sensitivity detecting subtle finger movements, with significantly amplifying response. This work provides new insights integration expanding pioneering fresh approach functionalized ionogel design.
