Fabricating sustainable ionic skin with multi-functional outstanding performances using biocompatible natural polymer-based ionogel is highly desired but remains a great challenge up to now. Herein, a green and recyclable ionogel has been fabricated by in-situ cross-linking of gelatin with a green bio-based multifunctional cross-linker of Triglycidyl Naringenin in ionic liquid. Benefiting from the unique multifunctional chemical crosslinking networks along with multiple reversible non-covalent interactions, the as-prepared ionogels exhibit high stretchability (>1000 %), excellent elasticity, fast room-temperature self-healability (>98 % healing efficiency at 6 min), and good recyclability. These ionogels are also highly conductive (up to 30.7 mS/cm at 150 °C), and exhibit extensive temperature tolerance (-23 to 252 °C) and outstanding UV-shielding ability. As a result, the as-prepared ionogel can easily be applied as stretchable ionic skin for wearable sensors, which exhibits high sensitivity, fast response time (102 ms), excellent temperature tolerance, and stability over 5000 stretching-relaxing cycles. More importantly, the gelatin-based sensor can be used in signal monitor system for various human motion real-time detection. This sustainable and multifunctional ionogel provides a new idea for easy and green preparation of advanced ionic skins.
利用生物相容性天然聚合物基离聚物制造具有多功能卓越性能的可持续离子皮肤是人们非常期望的,但直到现在仍然是一个巨大的挑战。本文通过在离子液体中用绿色生物基多功能交联剂橙皮苷三缩水甘油醚原位交联明胶,制备了一种绿色可回收的离聚物。得益于独特的多功能化学交联网络以及多种可逆的非共价相互作用,所制备的离聚物表现出高拉伸性(>1000%)、优异的弹性、快速的室温自修复性(在 6 分钟内修复效率>98%)和良好的可回收性。这些离聚物还具有高导电性(在 150°C 时高达 30.7 mS/cm),并表现出广泛的温度耐受性(-23 至 252°C)和出色的遮光能力。结果,所制备的离聚物可轻松用作可拉伸离子皮肤,用于可穿戴传感器,其具有高灵敏度、快速响应时间(102ms)、优异的温度耐受性和超过 5000 次拉伸-松弛循环的稳定性。更重要的是,基于明胶的传感器可用于各种人体运动实时检测的信号监测系统。这种可持续和多功能的离聚物为先进的离子皮肤的简单和绿色制备提供了新的思路。
