High‐Stretchability, Ultralow‐Hysteresis ConductingPolymer Hydrogel Strain Sensors for Soft Machines

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 34(32)

Published: June 21, 2022

Highly stretchable strain sensors based on conducting polymer hydrogel are rapidly emerging as a promising candidate toward diverse wearable skins and sensing devices for soft machines. However, due to the intrinsic limitations of low stretchability large hysteresis, existing cannot fully exploit their potential when used in or robotic systems. Here, sensor exhibiting both ultimate (300%) negligible hysteresis (<1.5%) is presented. This achieved through unique microphase semiseparated network design by compositing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) nanofibers with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) facile fabrication combining 3D printing successive freeze-thawing. The overall superior performances including stretchability, linearity, cyclic stability, robustness against mechanical twisting pressing systematically characterized. integration application such electronic further demonstrated measure various physiological signals, identify hand gestures, enable gripper objection recognition, remote control an industrial robot. work may offer hydrogels enhanced functionalities technical platforms intelligent

Liquid Metal-Doped Conductive Hydrogel for Construction of Multifunctional Sensors

Analytical Chemistry, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 95(7), P. 3811 - 3820

Published: Feb. 7, 2023

Interest in wearable and stretchable multifunctional sensors has grown rapidly recent years. The sensing elements must accurately detect external stimuli to expand their applicability as sensors. However, the sensor's self-healing adhesion a target object have been major challenges developing such practical versatile devices. In this study, we prepared hydrogel (LM-SA-PAA) composed of liquid metal (LM), sodium alginate (SA), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with ultrastretchable, excellent self-healing, self-adhesive, high-sensitivity capabilities that enable conformal contact between sensor skin even during dynamic movements. performance stems from its double cross-linked networks, including physical chemical networks. cross-link formed by ionic interaction carboxyl groups PAA gallium ions provide reversible autonomous repair properties, whereas covalent bond provides stable strong network. Alginate forms microgel shell around LM nanoparticles via coordination Ga ions. addition offering exceptional colloidal stability, sufficient polar groups, ensuring adheres diverse substrates. Based on efficient electrical pathway provided LM, exhibited strain sensitivity enabled detection various human motions electrocardiographic monitoring. preparation method is simple can be used for low-cost fabrication sensors, which broad application prospects human-machine interface compatibility medical
