Abstract Wearable healthcare and IoT applications demand conductors that are tough, stretchable, exhibit skin-like elasticity, advanced sensing capabilities, durability under dynamic conditions. However, conventional ionic conductors, such as hydrogels eutectogels, suffer from low conductivity, poor fatigue resistance, limited adaptability to deformation, constrained by trade-offs between mechanical robustness electrical performance. Here, we present an ultrastretchable, fatigue-resistant organic mixed ionic-electronic conductor (OMIEC) eutectogel addresses these challenges enhancing inherently competing properties through a novel hierarchical bonding network. This structure integrates hydrogen bonds within polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES) matrix hydrophobic interactions derived rigid, mixed-conductive domains, forming robust conducting gel synergistic design significantly enhances toughness, fracture electromechanical sensitivity, while maintaining ultralow hysteresis (≤ 1%) strains up 1,500%. The OMIEC demonstrates 66-fold increase in 6.2-fold improvement energy, 4.5-fold enhancement complemented self-healing extend life beyond 100,000 cycles. By integrating the material eliminates traditional trade-offs, enabling precise stable monitoring of physiological motion, temperature, complex human gestures environments. multifunctional establishes transformative platform for next-generation wearable bioelectronics, providing unparalleled stretchability, durability, multi-sensing performance health monitoring, soft robotics, systems.

ABSTRACT While various biomedical sealants exist, many suffer from several drawbacks. For example, hydrogels with superior sealing properties often exhibit limitations such as conflict‐free, individual, and flexible control over injectability gel physical properties, well regarding applications in diverse scenarios. This article presents PL/OHA, a pH‐driven injectable hydrogel sealant designed for wound sealing. PL/OHA employs dynamic bonds, including Schiff base hydrogen to produce biodegradable biocompatible sealant. By individually adjusting the pH value solid content, gelation time, mechanical adhesion strength of can be flexibly controlled meet different requirements wound‐sealing contexts. Experiments prove that injection time controlled, seconds tens minutes, by changing value. It also exhibits adjustable properties. When content is increased 24% 36%, tensile increases 10.12 25.12 kPa, compressive 97.50 516.61 kPa. remarkable antibacterial activity, healing promotion capacity, excellent biocompatibility. These make it promising candidate future clinical
