A green, fully recyclable and stretchable electronic sensor based on ionic conductive gelatin organohydrogels can operate at ultra-low temperature.
Underwater adhesion plays an essential role in soft electronics for the underwater interface. Although hydrogel-based are of great interest, because their versatility, water molecules prevent hydrogels from adhering to substrates, thus bottlenecking further applications. Herein, inspired by barnacle proteins, MXene/PHMP with strong repeatable developed through random copolymerization 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate, 2-methoxyethyl and N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide presence MXene nanosheets. The...
With advances in tissue engineering and bioelectronics, flexible electronic hydrogels that allow conformal integration, online precision diagnosis, simultaneous regeneration are expected to be the next-generation platform for treatment of myocardial infarction. Here, we report a functionalized polyaniline-based chronological adhesive hydrogel patch (CAHP) achieves spatiotemporally selective embedded integration with moist dynamic epicardium surface. Significantly, CAHP has high adhesion...
Multimodal haptic perception is essential for enhancing perceptual experiences in augmented reality applications. To date, several artificial tactile interfaces have been developed to perceive pressure and precontact signals, while simultaneously detecting object type softness with quantified modulus still remains challenging. Here, inspired by the campaniform sensilla on insect antennae, we proposed a hemispherical bimodal intelligent sensor (BITS) array using triboelectric effect. The...
Abstract Flexible wearable sensors are of interest for underwater applications such as aquatic robots and marine exploration. Non‐swelling hydrogels would be a preferable candidate sensing with stable performance. Herein, comprised MXene polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) designed manufactured. Owing to the synergistic effect phase separation zones hydrophilic/hydrophobic interaction, MXene/PHEMA exhibit non‐swelling performance in various liquid media (e.g., water, seawater) effectively...
Anisotropic and super-strong conductive hydrogels were prepared by mechanical stretching combined with the Hofmeister effect. exhibit anisotropic electrochemical properties.
Fully-physically crosslinked hydrogels with strain sensitivity and anti-freezing properties for wireless sensing low temperature were prepared.
To improve the therapeutic effect of a hydrogel on damaged tissue, series hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC) and poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) composite hydrogels (HBC-PSB) with thermosensitivity, self-healing, antibiofouling, synergistic antibacterial activity are prepared by mechanical blending. The electrostatic interaction among PSBMA hydrophobic association HBC main drive force to form full physically crosslinked hydrogel. can avoid aggregation precipitation caused intermolecular...
Abstract Visible light‐based human–machine interactive media is capable of transmitting electrical readouts to machines and providing intuitive feedback users simultaneously. Currently, many inorganic mechanoluminescent (ML) materials‐based media, typically ZnS‐loaded phosphors (ZLPs), have been successfully demonstrated. However, organic ML solutions were rarely exploited despite their huge merits strong structural modification, abundant luminescence property, low cost, easy preparation, so...
Abstract Skin‐attachable conductive hydrogels are ideal candidates for the design of flexible and wearable electronics, tremendous efforts devoted to preparing multifunctional hydrogels. However, antibacterial ability ultraviolet (UV)‐blocking property still essential yet rarely reported. In this study, a novel ionically polyacrylamide (PAAm)/chitosan (CS)/tannic acid (TA) hydrogel (PCT hydrogel) with transparency, adhesiveness, activity, UV‐blocking simultaneously is fabricated via facile...
Traditional adhesives such as cyanoacrylate glue are mostly solvent-based. They facing the problem of insufficient adhesion to some substrates, and also from drawback volatilization release small organic molecules in process usage. Therefore, a novel adhesive with non-irritating, high strength, antibacterial properties is highly required. In this study, full physically crosslinked zwitterionic poly(betaine sulfonate methacrylate) (PSBMA) hydrogel proposed. The physical crosslinking...
Flow sensing exhibits significant potential for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing processes in industries, resource management, environmental protection. However, achieving wireless real-time omnidirectional of gas/liquid flow on a simple, self-contained device without external power support has remained formidable challenge. In this study, compact-sized, fully self-powered flowmeter (CSWF) is introduced with small size diameter down to less than 50 mm, which can transmit signals, as...
