Abstract

Conductive hydrogel-based epidermal strain sensors can generate repeatable electrical changes upon mechanical deformations for indication of the skin's physiological condition. However, this remains challenging for many conductive hydrogel sensors due to biomechanical mismatch with skin tissues and an unstable resistance variation response, resulting in non-conformable deformations with the epidermis and dermis, and consequently generating inaccurate monitoring of human movements. Herein, a conductive hydrogel that highly matches the skin is fabricated from dynamically hydrogen-bonded nanocrystallites of polydopamine-modified reduced graphene oxide (PDA-rGO) nanosheets composited with polyvinyl alcohol, namely the PDA-rGO/PVA hydrogel. PDA-rGO provides a large number of dynamic hydrogen-bonding interactions in the hydrogel, resulting in a skin-matching modulus (78 kPa) and stretchability. Moreover, the resultant hydrogel possesses excellent cytocompatibility and conductivity (0.87 S m-1), high sensitivity (gauge factor of compression: 20) at low strain and outstanding linearity at high strain as well as a stable resistance variation response. These desirable properties enable the application of the PDA-rGO/PVA hydrogel as a skin-friendly wearable sensor for real-time and accurate detection of both large-scale joint movements and tiny physiological signals, including the bending and relaxing of fingers, the wrist, elbow and knee joints, and wrist pulse and swallowing. Moreover, this hydrogel is integrated into a 2D sensor array that monitors strains or pressures in two dimensions, which is promising for electronic skin, biosensors, human-machine interfaces, and wearable electronic devices.

摘要

基于导电水凝胶的表皮应变传感器可以在机械变形时产生可重复的电变化,以指示皮肤的生理状况。然而,由于与皮肤组织的生物力学不匹配以及不稳定的电阻变化响应,许多导电水凝胶传感器仍然存在挑战,导致与表皮和真皮的贴合性变形,从而无法准确监测人体运动。在此,通过将聚多巴胺修饰的还原氧化石墨烯(PDA-rGO)纳米片的动态氢键纳米晶与聚乙烯醇复合,制备出与皮肤高度匹配的导电水凝胶,即 PDA-rGO/PVA 水凝胶。PDA-rGO 在水凝胶中提供了大量的动态氢键相互作用,从而具有匹配皮肤的模量(78 kPa)和拉伸性。此外,所得水凝胶具有优异的细胞相容性和导电性(0.87 S m-1)、在低应变下的高灵敏度(压缩时的应变系数:20)和在高应变下的出色线性度以及稳定的电阻变化响应。这些理想的特性使 PDA-rGO/PVA 水凝胶能够作为一种亲肤可穿戴传感器,用于实时准确地检测大关节运动和微小生理信号,包括手指、手腕、肘部和膝盖的弯曲和放松,以及手腕脉搏和吞咽。此外,该水凝胶集成到二维传感器阵列中,可以监测二维的应变或压力,有望应用于电子皮肤、生物传感器、人机界面和可穿戴电子设备。
