Abstract
Recently, self-healing hydrogel bioelectronic devices have raised enormous interest for their tissue-like mechanical compliance, desirable biocompatibility, and tunable adhesiveness on bioartificial organs. However, the practical applications of these hydrogel-based sensors are generally limited by their poor fulfillment of stretchability and sensitivity, brittleness under subzero temperature, and single sensory function. Inspired by the fiber-reinforced microstructures and mechano-transduction systems of human muscles, a self-healing (90.8%), long-lasting thermal tolerant and dual-sensory hydrogel-based sensor is proposed, with high gauge factor (18.28) within broad strain range (268.9%), low limit of…
