Tough, Adhesive, Self-Healable, and Transparent Ionically Conductive Zwitterionic Nanocomposite Hydrogels as Skin Strain Sensors
Abstract
It is desired to create skin strain sensors composed of multifunctional conductive hydrogels with excellent toughness and adhesion properties to sustain cyclic loadings during use and facilitate the electrical signal transmission. Herein, we prepared transparent, compliant, and adhesive zwitterionic nanocomposite hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties. The incorporated zwitterionic polymers can form interchain dipole–dipole associations to offer additional physical cross-linking of the network. The hydrogels show a high fracture elongation up to 2000%, a fracture strength up to 0.27 MPa, and a fracture toughness up to 2.45 MJ/m 3 . Moreover, the reversible physical interaction imparts the hydrogels with rapid self-healing ability without any stimuli. The hydrogels are adhesive to many surfaces including polyelectrolyte hydrogels, skin, glasses, silicone rubbers, and nitrile rubbers. The presence of abundant zwitterionic groups facilitates ionic conductivity in the hydrogels. The combination of these properties enables the hydrogels to act as strain sensors with high sensitivity (gauge factor = 1.8). The strategy to design the tough, adhesive, self-healable, and conductive hydrogels as skin strain sensors by the zwitterionic nanocomposite hydrogels is promising for practical applications.

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.
