Abstract Artificial electronic skin (E‐skin), a class of promising materials mimicking the physical‐chemical and sensory performance human skin, has gained extensive interest in field health‐monitoring robotic skins. However, developing E‐skin simultaneously achieving high resilience, hysteresis‐free, absent external power is always formidable challenge. Herein, liquid‐free eutectic gel‐based self‐powered with fatigue resistance, conductivity prepared by introducing hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) into metal salt‐based deep solvents (MDES). The unique structural design cellulose‐anchored permanent entangled poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) chain, combination rapid broken/reconstruction dense dynamic sacrificial bonds, realizes fabrication high‐elastic negligible hysteresis. This further demonstrates practical application cellulose‐based eutectogel transmittance (92%), (36.6 mS m −1 ), resilience (98.1%), excellent environment stability robust triboelectric nanogenerator for energy harvesting health‐caring human‐machine interaction.

Abstract Cellulose consists of a natural, rigid polymer that is widely used to improve the mechanical and water‐holding properties hydrogels. However, its abundant hydroxyl groups make it highly absorbent free water, leading swelling behavior. This increased water content will also decrease adhesive performance. In this study, cellulose successfully hydrophobically modified reduce absorption water. Gelatin then cross‐linked with through Schiff‐base reaction, resulting in bound content. significantly enhances resistance permeability, improves freeze–thaw stability hydrogel. Due internal hydrophobicity, molecules can quickly penetrate into interior, reducing their residence time on hydrogel surface. allows maintain high adhesion natural environments, achieving an strength up 3.0 MPa wood bamboo‐based materials. The retain even after prolonged exposure humid environment. Additionally, Na + ions enhance electrical conductivity sensitivity (gauge factor (GF) = 1.51), demonstrating potential applications flexible sensing.

Breakthrough to the extreme properties of polymer networks relies on new insights into their molecular dynamics. Time-salt concentration superposition has been discovered in polyelectrolyte coacervate systems, proving instrumental tuning mechanical performance hydrogels. However, time-salt type never mentioned existing literature. Herein, we reported that poly(methacrylamide) (PMAm) hydrogel can be systematically regulated a vast range by treating with different salts, for example, Young's modulus tuned from 10–2 103 MPa. The unusual behavior salt-stiffening arises salt-enhanced phase separation network and subsequent glassy transition polymer-rich phase. Rheological results demonstrate dynamic hydrogels superposed onto "time-salt type" master curves salt types aligning along Hofmeister series. shift factor exhibits correlation mobility water molecules as revealed low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A polymer–water–salt ternary interaction mechanism was proposed elucidate equivalent behavior. Guided principle, processing strategy brought up expand property limits PMAm hydrogel. With simply switching employed, could either stiff wear-resistant material akin plastics or soft flowable gel utilizable recycling.

Hydrogels consist of cross-linked polymers that are highly swollen with water. Water evaporation or freezing during temperature changes may lead to stiff and brittle hydrogels. We introduce a strategy called “hydro-locking,” which involves immobilizing the water molecules within polymer network hydrogel. This is accomplished by establishing robust connections between using sulfuric acid. A sacrificial introduced shield prime from collapsing. Under hydro-locking mode, an alginate-polyacrylamide double-network hydrogel remains soft stretchable range spans –115° 143°C. The works hydrogels solutions enable preservation observation materials even living organisms at extreme temperatures.
