Applying conductive hydrogels in electronic skin, health monitoring, and wearable devices has aroused great research interest. Yet, it remains a significant challenge to prepare conductive hydrogels simultaneously with superior mechanical, self-recovery, and conductivity performance. Herein, a dual ionically cross-linked double network (DN) hydrogel is fabricated based on K and Fe ion cross-linked κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) and Fe ion cross-linked poly(sodium acrylate-co-acrylamide) P(AANa-co-AM). Benefiting from the abundance of hydrogen bonds and metal coordination bonds, the conductive hydrogel has excellent mechanical properties (fracture strain up to 1420 %, fracture stress up to 2.30 MPa, and toughness up to 20.63 MJ/m) and good self-recovery performance (the recovery rate of the toughness can reach 85 % after waiting for 1 h). Meanwhile, due to the introduction of dual metal ions of K and Fe, the ionic conductivity of conductive hydrogel is up to 1.42 S/m. Furthermore, the hydrogel strain sensor has good sensitivity with a gauge factor (GF) of 2.41 (0-100 %). It can be a wearable sensor that monitors different human motions, such as sit-ups. This work offers a new synergistic strategy for designing a hydrogel strain sensor with high mechanical, self-recovery, and conductive properties.
将导电水凝胶应用于电子皮肤、健康监测和可穿戴设备引起了极大的研究兴趣。然而,同时制备具有优异机械性能、自恢复性能和导电性能的导电水凝胶仍然是一项重大挑战。在此,基于钾离子和铁离子交联的κ-卡拉胶(κ-CG)以及铁离子交联的聚丙烯酸钠-丙烯酰胺共聚物(P(AANa-co-AM))制备了一种双离子交联双网络(DN)水凝胶。得益于丰富的氢键和金属配位键,该导电水凝胶具有优异的机械性能(断裂应变高达1420%,断裂应力高达2.30MPa,韧性高达20.63MJ/m³)和良好的自恢复性能(等待1小时后韧性恢复率可达85%)。同时,由于引入了钾和铁的双金属离子,导电水凝胶的离子电导率高达1.42S/m。此外,水凝胶应变传感器具有良好的灵敏度,应变系数(GF)为2.41(0-100%)。它可以作为一种可穿戴传感器来监测不同的人体运动,如仰卧起坐。这项工作为设计具有高机械性能、自恢复性能和导电性能的水凝胶应变传感器提供了一种新的协同策略。
