Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flexible electronic materials technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a high-performance hydrogel wearable sensor based on the synergistic enhancement of toughness and conductivity through hydrophobic association. Background Technology

[0002] The widespread application of flexible electronic devices in fields such as intelligent robots, energy harvesting, human motion detection, and wearable sensors has attracted considerable attention. Currently, researchers have successfully constructed wearable flexible electronic devices based on various flexible substrates, including fabrics, sponges, aerogels, and hydrogel composites. Among these flexible substrates, conductive hydrogels have become an ideal material for fabricating flexible wearable strain sensors due to their excellent conductivity, tunable mechanical flexibility, ease of processing, and superior biocompatibility. By incorporating conductive materials into the hydrogel matrix, the constructed conductive hydrogels have been widely applied in implantable devices, artificial skin, and other fields.

[0003] However, the mismatch between conductive fillers and polymer networks often reduces the mechanical and electrical stability of hydrogels. Therefore, effective integration of conductive fillers and polymer networks is a prerequisite for ensuring the excellent performance of conductive hydrogels. However, due to the uneven dispersion of conductive fillers and the agglomeration effect during stretching, conductive hydrogel devices only perform well under small strains and have a limited operating range. The preparation of hydrogels with both excellent mechanical properties and excellent conductivity remains a challenge that urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Hydrophobic associative networks offer a novel approach to solving the aforementioned mechanical challenges. These networks can dissipate energy within the hydrogel, thereby resisting crack propagation. Micelles formed by the interaction of surfactants and hydrophobic segments are linked to hydrophilic segments through crosslinking points, effectively enhancing the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. However, tensile properties remain limited, and further exploration is needed to effectively incorporate conductive fillers into hydrophobic associative hydrogels. To address these issues, this invention aims to provide a hydrogel sensor construction scheme that combines excellent mechanical and electrical properties. This scheme achieves high tensile strength, high sensitivity, and a wide detection range simultaneously by effectively introducing hydrophobic associations. It is expected to have wide applications in personal health and medical monitoring, intelligent sports equipment, rehabilitation management, and human-computer interaction interfaces.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for fabricating a high-performance hydrogel wearable sensor based on the synergistic enhancement of toughness and conductivity through hydrophobic association. This method involves introducing micelles within the hydrogel and using a thermally initiated polymerization process via hydrophobic association to obtain a gelatin / polyacrylamide / MXene hydrogel. This addresses the problems of complex fabrication processes and the inability to simultaneously achieve optimal mechanical and electrical properties in flexible hydrogel sensors.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is: A method for fabricating a high-performance hydrogel wearable sensor based on the synergistic enhancement of toughness and conductivity through hydrophobic association includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of MXene by in-situ etching of titanium aluminum carbide with hydrogen fluoride formed by lithium fluoride and hydrochloric acid; (2) Mix a certain mass concentration of gelatin aqueous solution with a certain mass of MXene, and then add sodium dodecyl sulfate, NaCl and octadecyl methacrylate to prepare a micelle solution for later use; (3) Add acrylamide to the solution prepared in step (2), stir and cool, then add ammonium persulfate, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine; finally, transfer the solution to a mold and carry out the gelation reaction at room temperature.

[0007] Furthermore, the mass of the lithium fluoride is 1 g.

[0008] Furthermore, the volume of the hydrochloric acid is 20 mL.

[0009] Furthermore, the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is 12 M.

[0010] Furthermore, the mass percentage concentration of the gelatin aqueous solution in step (2) is 3-12 wt%.

[0011] Further, the volume of the gelatin aqueous solution in step (2) is 10 mL.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (2), the final concentration of MXene added is 0.1-3 mg / mL.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass of acrylamide is 1.5 g.

[0014] Furthermore, the mass of ammonium persulfate in step (3) is 0.03 g.

[0015] Further, in step (3), the mass of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide is 1.5 mg.

[0016] Further, in step (3), the amount of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine used is 20 µL.

[0017] The advantages of this invention are: (1) By introducing micelles inside the hydrogel and using the hydrophobic association method, the gelatin / polyacrylamide / MXene hydrogel prepared by thermally initiated polymerization has good mechanical flexibility and excellent sensing performance, which solves the problem of complex preparation process and inability to balance mechanical and electrical properties of flexible hydrogel sensors.

[0018] (2) The gelatin / polyacrylamide / MXene hydrogel possesses excellent electrical and mechanical properties due to the introduction of a hydrophobic association method. Mechanically: Utilizing the hydrophobic association region as a dynamic and reversible physical cross-linking point, the hydrogel is endowed with high strength, high toughness, and self-healing properties through an efficient energy dissipation mechanism. Electrically: By introducing conductive nanomaterials and utilizing the open structure and compatibility of the hydrophobic network, an efficient and stable conductive pathway is constructed. The mechanical network and the conductive pathway are mutually compatible and mutually reinforcing in terms of microstructure. The dynamic physical cross-linking network ensures the reconfigurability and stability of the conductive pathway under deformation, while the rational introduction of conductive components can, in turn, enhance mechanical properties, achieving synergistic and excellent effects. We have prepared a high-performance hydrogel with both toughness and conductivity using a simple and rapid hydrophobic association method.

[0019] (3) High-performance hydrogels with synergistic enhancement of toughness and conductivity through hydrophobic association exhibit excellent conductivity, ultra-high sensitivity, and a wide strain sensing capability. Hydrophobic-associated hydrogels possess excellent mechanical tensile strength, demonstrating a strain monitoring range exceeding 500%. This patent solves the problem of the inability to simultaneously achieve both mechanical and electrical properties in conductive hydrogels, and can be widely applied in fields such as personal health and medical monitoring, intelligent sports equipment, rehabilitation management, and human-computer interaction interfaces.
