Hydrogel strain sensors with extreme temperature tolerance have recently gained great attention. However, the sensing ability of these hydrogel strain sensors changes with temperature, resulting in the variety of output signals that causes signal distortion. In this study, double-network hydrogels comprising SiO nanoparticles composed of polyacrylamide and phytic acid-doped polypyrrole were prepared and applied on strain sensors with a wide sensing range, high adhesiveness, and invariable strain sensitivity under flame and cold environments. The hydrogels had stable conductivity, excellent adhesive strength of up to 79.7 kPa on various substrates, and high elongation of up to 1896% at subzero temperature and after heating. They also exhibited effective flame retardancy with low surface temperature (71.2 °C) after 1200 s of heating (200 °C) and antifreezing properties at a low temperature of -20 °C. Remarkably, even under cold temperature and heat treatment, the hydrogel-based strain sensor displayed consistent sensing behaviors in detecting human motions with a broad strain range (up to 500%) and steady gauge factor (GF, ∼2.90). Therefore, this work paves the way for the applications of hydrogel sensors in robotic skin, human-mechanical interfaces, and health monitoring devices under harsh operating environments.
具有极端耐温性的水凝胶应变传感器最近受到了极大关注。然而,这些水凝胶应变传感器的传感能力随温度变化而变化,导致输出信号的多样性,从而产生信号失真。在这项研究中,制备了由聚酰胺和植酸掺杂的聚吡咯组成的 SiO 纳米粒子的双网络水凝胶,并将其应用于应变传感器,该应变传感器具有宽的传感范围、在火焰和寒冷环境下具有高附着力和不变的应变灵敏度。水凝胶具有稳定的导电性,在各种基底上的最大附着力高达 79.7 kPa,在零下温度和加热后伸长率高达 1896%。它们还表现出有效的阻燃性,加热 1200 秒后表面温度(71.2°C)低,在-20°C 的低温下具有抗冻结性能。值得注意的是,即使在低温和热处理下,基于水凝胶的应变传感器在检测人体运动时仍表现出一致的传感行为,具有较宽的应变范围(高达 500%)和稳定的应变系数(GF,约 2.90)。因此,这项工作为水凝胶传感器在恶劣工作环境下的机器人皮肤、人机界面和健康监测设备中的应用铺平了道路。
