Conductive Eutectogels Fabricated by Dialdehyde Xylan/Liquid Metal-Initiated Rapid Polymerization for Multi-Response Sensors and Self-Powered Applications

Conductive eutectogels have emerged as candidates for constructing functional flexible electronics as they are free from the constraints posed by inherent defects associated with solvents and feeble network structures. Nevertheless, developing a facile, environmentally friendly, and rapid polymerization strategy for the construction of conductive eutectogels with integrated multifunctionality is still immensely challenging. Herein, a conductive eutectogel is fabricated through a one-step dialdehyde xylan (DAX)/liquid metal (LM)-initiated polymerization of a deep eutectic solvent. DAX acts as a stabilizer for the preparation of LM nanodroplets and plays a crucial role in facilitating ultrafast gelation (less…
