Biocompatible, self-healing, highly stretchable polyacrylic acid/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite hydrogel sensors via mussel-inspired chemistry

Abstract

Abstract Biocompatible and self-healing hydrogels that mimic the functions of human skin have attracted much attention for skin-like electronics and human motion detection. Integrating high stretchability and improving sensing sensitivity are current challenges. In this study, a nanocomposite hydrogel comprised of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry integrates high stretchability (higher than 600%), strong mechanical strength (as high as 400 kPa), excellent self-healing properties, and superior sensing abilities. The outstanding performance of this autonomous self-healing hydrogel originates from its dual-crosslinked networks, which include both physically crosslinked networks and chemically crosslinked networks. The physical crosslinking formed by the ionic interactions between the carboxylic groups of polyacrylic acid and the ferric ions provide reversible self-healing properties for the hydrogel, whereas the covalent bonds provide a stable and strong chemical network for the hydrogel. Due to the effective electric pathways provided via rGO, the hydrogel exhibited strain sensitivity and was able to detect multiple human motions. Moreover, HEF1 fibroblasts differentiated from human embryonic stem cells showed a flourishing living state on the biocompatible hydrogel. The preparation method is simple, easily scaled-up, which will allow for the low cost fabrication of electronic skins and bio-sensors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
