Ultrastretchable and Stable Strain Sensors Based on Anti-freezing and Self-healing Ionic Organohydrogels for Human Motion Monitoring.
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces 2019 Februrary 15
Ionic hydrogels, a class of intrinsically stretchable and conductive materials, are widely used in soft electronics. However, the easy freezing and drying of water-based hydrogels significantly limit their long-term stability. Here, a facile solvent-replacement strategy is developed to fabricate ethylene glycol (Eg)/glycerol (Gl)-water binary anti-freezing and anti-drying organohydrogels for ultrastretchable and sensitive strain sensing within a wide temperature range. Due to the ready formation of strong hydrogen bonds between Eg/Gl and water molecules, the organohydrogels gain exceptional freezing and drying tolerance with retained deformability, conductivity and self-healing ability even stay at extreme temperature for a long time. Thus, the fabricated strain sensor displays a gauge factor of 6, which is much higher than previously reported values for hydrogel-based strain sensors. Furthermore, the strain sensor exhibits a relatively wide strain range (0.5-950%) even at -18 °C. Various human motions with different strain levels are monitored by the strain sensor with good stability and repeatability from -18 to 25 °C. The organohydrogels maintained the strain sensing capability when exposed to ambient air for nine months. This work provides new insight into the fabrication of stable, ultrastretchable and ultrasensitive strain sensors using chemically modified organohydrogel for emerging wearable electronics.
