Title: | Double network hydrogel sensors with high sensitivity in large strain range | Authors: | Zhang, J Xue, W Dai, Y Wu, L Liao, B Zeng, W Tao, X |
Issue Date: | Dec-2021 | Source: | Macromolecular materials and engineering, Dec. 2021, v. 306, no. 12, 2100486 | Abstract: | Owing to their preferable flexibility and facilitation to integrate with various apparel products, flexible sensors with high sensitivity are highly favored in the fields of environmental monitoring, health diagnosis, and wearable electronics. However, great challenges still remain in integrating high sensitivity with wide sensing range in one single flexible strain sensor. Herein, a new stretchable conductive gel-based sensor exhibiting remarkable properties regarding stretchability and sensitivity is developed via improving the ionic conductivity of the PVA/P(AM-AANa) double network hydrogel. Specifically, the strain sensor developed exhibits an excellent elongation of 549%, good fatigue resistance, and recovery performance. Simultaneously, the hydrogel strain sensor shows a high conductivity of 25 mS cm−1, fast response time of 360 ms, and a linear response (gauge factor = 4.75) to external strain (≈400%), which endow the sensor with accurate and reliable capacities to detect various human movements. Integrating the merits of flexibility, environment friendliness, and high sensitivity, the conductive gel-based sensor has promising application prospects in human–machine interfaces, touchpads, biosensors, electronic skin, wearable electronic devices, and so on. | Keywords: | Double network hydrogel Flexible High mechanical properties High sensitivity Strain sensor |
