Stable, Strain-Sensitive Conductive Hydrogel with Antifreezing Capability, Remoldability, and Reusability

Abstract

Conductive hydrogels have important potential in biosensors, bioactuators, and health recording electrodes, but they are often troubled by sensitivity, operating temperature range, and whether they can be recycled or not. In this paper, conductive hydrogels poly(vinyl alcohol)/glycerol/polyaniline (PGA) were prepared by organic combination of low-cost poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyaniline (PANi), and glycerin. First, the effects of PVA, glycerol, and aniline/phytic acid solution concentration on the mechanical properties, electrical properties, and frost resistance of the PGA gel were discussed. Second, the interaction energies of PVA, PANi, phytic acid, glycerol, and water molecules were analyzed by Materials Studio. Then, a simple biosensor fabricated using the PGA gel realized the detection of the conventional motion signal of the human body. The conductive gel has high sensitivity (GF = 2.14), fast response time (230 ms), and can be circulated several times (∼540 cycles). Furthermore, the PGA conductive gel can maintain good electrical conductivity (0.32 S/m) and mechanical properties even at -20 °C. Also, the gel can be recovered by injection heating, cooling, and cyclic freeze-thaw three-step method. It is believed that the PGA conductive gel would be used as a novel multifunctional material at subzero temperatures in various fields, such as flexible electrode, sensors, and wearable devices.

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.
