Intrinsic conductive ionic hydrogels, endowed with excellent mechanical properties, hold significant promise for applications in wearable and implantable electronics. However, the complexity of exercise and athletics calls for mechanical tunability, facile processability and high conductivity of wearable sensors, which remains a persistent challenge. In this study, we developed a mechanically tunable and high ionic conductive hydrogel patch to approach multi-gesture or motion monitoring. Through adjustment of the ratio of amino trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), the composite hydrogel attains tunable mechanical strength (varying from 50 kPa to 730 kPa), remarkable stretchability (reaching up to 1900% strain), high conductivity (measuring 15.43 S/m), and strong linear sensitivity (with a gauge factor of 2.34 within 100% strain). Benefitting with the tunable mechanical sensitivity, the composite hydrogel patch can perform subtle movement monitoring, such as epidermal pulses or pronounced muscle vibrations; meanwhile, it can also recognize and detect major motions, such as hand gestures. The mechanically tunable composite hydrogel contributes a versatile sensing platform for health or athletic monitoring, with wide and sensitive adoptability.
具有优异机械性能的本征导电离子水凝胶在可穿戴和植入式电子设备应用中具有巨大潜力。然而,运动和竞技的复杂性要求可穿戴传感器具备机械可调性、易加工性和高导电性,这仍然是一个长期挑战。在本研究中,我们开发了一种机械可调且高离子导电的水凝胶贴片,以实现多手势或运动监测。通过调整氨基三亚甲基膦酸(ATMP)和聚乙烯醇(PVA)的比例,复合水凝胶获得了可调的机械强度(从50 kPa到730 kPa不等)、出色的拉伸性(应变高达1900%)、高导电性(测量值为15.43 S/m)以及强线性灵敏度(在100%应变范围内应变系数为2.34)。得益于可调的机械灵敏度,复合水凝胶贴片能够进行细微运动监测,如表皮脉搏或明显的肌肉振动;同时,它还能识别和检测主要运动,如手势。这种机械可调的复合水凝胶为健康或运动监测提供了一个多功能传感平台,具有广泛且灵敏的适应性。
