Stimuli-Responsive Conductive Nanocomposite Hydrogels with High Stretchability, Self-Healing, Adhesiveness, and 3D Printability for Human Motion Sensing
Xi'an Jiaotong University · University of Michigan
Abstract
Self-healing, adhesive conductive hydrogels are of great significance in wearable electronic devices, flexible printable electronics, and tissue engineering scaffolds. However, designing self-healing hydrogels with multifunctional properties such as high conductivity, excellent mechanical property, and high sensitivity remains a challenge. In this work, the conductive self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels based on nanoclay (laponite), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and N-isopropyl acrylamide are presented. The presented nanocomposite hydrogels displayed good electrical conductivity, rapid self-healing and adhesive properties, flexible and stretchable mechanical properties, and high sensitivity to…
