Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flexible sensors, and in particular to an antifreeze conductive gel and a preparation and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Conductive elastomers exhibit both mechanical toughness and electrical conductivity, and have great technological application value, especially in stretchable electronics and flexible photonics. Functional elastomers with conductive properties provide great development opportunities for flexible electronics and soft machinery, and have promoted the rapid development of related research fields in recent years. Due to the biocompatibility, flexibility, and conductivity of conductive gels, they are widely used in the design and preparation of biosensors, medical monitoring, human-computer interaction, etc.

[0003] Human skin covers our entire body. It can not only convert complex external stimuli into electrical signals and transmit them to the brain, but also has excellent mechanical properties and can meet our daily movements without instability or cracking. Therefore, the design of wearable gel (electronic skin) must not only be able to respond to external stimuli, but also have excellent mechanical properties to meet daily human movements.

[0004] Electronic skin mostly uses polymer gel as the basic substrate. However, the strength of flexible sensors is usually low and cannot produce large deformations. At the same time, most gel elastomers are prepared based on water, and their mechanical properties will gradually deteriorate as the water evaporates outdoors. In addition, most electronic skins are complicated to prepare and the raw materials used are relatively expensive, which seriously limits the rapid development of the industry. Therefore, it is extremely important to design a gel elastomer that is simple to prepare, low in price, and has high mechanical properties and conductivity.

[0005] Application No. 201910946428.8 discloses a method for designing Pickering emulsion microcapsules based on cellulose nanocrystals extracted from discarded grape residues using a low eutectic solvent, and preparing a self-repairing antifreeze hydrogel. Application No. 202011093032.2 discloses a method for preparing a biomass-based hydrogel, dissolving the biomass in a eutectic solvent of choline chloride and urea or acetic acid, and then adding a polymer monomer to initiate polymerization to obtain a gel that can be used for the adsorption of a variety of dyes with strong adsorption capacity. Application No. CN202110365358 discloses a class of supramolecular polymer double network low eutectic gels and their preparation methods and applications. Application No. CN202210449820 discloses a method for preparing a hemicellulose-based hydrogel based on a low eutectic solvent. Application No. CN202210192916 discloses a high-strength self-healing hydrogel and a preparation method thereof. β-cyclodextrin is added to the eutectic system of choline chloride and acrylamide-acrylic acid to initiate polymerization, and the hydrogel is prepared by soaking and washing with distilled water. Application No. CN202210374006 discloses a method for quickly preparing a high-strength hydrogel filled with chitosan. Chitosan is added to the eutectic system of choline chloride and acrylamide, acrylic acid, itaconic acid, etc. to prepare a gel. However, the material prepared by simple choline chloride and acrylamide is very hard and lacks softness. Application No. CN202111513881 discloses a self-adhesive conductive gel and a preparation method thereof. First, a polymer dispersion system is constructed by mixing quaternary ammonium salt choline chloride with one or more of glycerol, ethylene glycol, and PEG200 into a mixed solvent. Polymer monomers and initiators are added in sequence, and the gel is polymerized. The addition of hydrogen bond donors such as ethylene glycol promotes the softness of propionamide polymers and enhances the low temperature resistance and conductivity of the gel.
