Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrafast self-healing polysaccharide-based hydrogel strain sensor and a preparation method thereof. A stretchable and completely degradable hydrogel with ultrafast self-healing is prepared by a one-pot method using natural polysaccharides and polyvinyl alcohol. glue, and apply it to the field of flexible strain sensors. Under the synergistic effect of dynamic boron ester bonds and hydrogen bonds, the hydrogel shows ultrafast self-healing ability in both air and water, which solves the problem of slow healing of flexible devices after damage, which requires external stimuli such as light, heat, electricity, etc. Problems such as inability to heal underwater and refractory degradation to pollute the environment. In addition, the hydrogel has rapid response to tensile strain and compressive strain, and can realize real-time monitoring of small deformations such as throat vocalization, swallowing, frowning, etc., and large deformations caused by limb movements such as fingers, elbows, and knees. The hydrogel strain sensor of the invention has a simple preparation process, is environmentally friendly, low in price and can be completely degraded, and has broad application prospects in the field of flexible electronics.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultrafast self-healing polysaccharide hydrogel strain sensor and a preparation method thereof, which can be specifically applied to flexible wearable devices, flexible electronic skins, real-time motion monitors, flexible robots, and actuators. Background technique [0002] In the past ten years, with the rapid development of new flexible devices such as human-computer interaction, implantable physiological signal tracking system, medical health monitoring and energy storage, the mechanical properties of the materials used are similar to or exceed those of soft biological tissues. research hotspots. Mimicking human tactile abilities as well as having good mechanical properties and electrical conductivity is the ultimate goal. Soft stretchable strain sensors prepared by filling conductive materials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal particles, nanowires, etc.) Uniformity, the detection range of the material is limited durin...
