Conductive, sensitivity, flexibility, anti-freezing and anti-drying silica/carbon nanotubes/sodium ions modified sodium alginate hydrogels for wearable strain sensing applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 280:135880. [PMID: 39317286 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/26/2024]
Abstract
The biocompatibility and salient gelling feature of alginate via forming the interpenetrating network structure has received extensive interests for different applications. Traditional alginate hydrogels freeze at low temperature and evaporate easily at room temperature, leading to reduced performance. Consequently, it is crucial to develop methods to prevent alginate hydrogel from freezing at subzero temperature and dehydration at normal temperature to maintain the performance stability. Utilizing polyacrylic acid, sodium alginate, and acrylamide-hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymers as flexible matrix materials, this study develops a wearable silica (SiO2)/carbon nanotubes (CNT)/sodium ions (SiO2/CNT/Na+) modified sodium alginate hydrogel strain sensor characterized by high sensitivity, flexibility, and anti-freezing and anti-drying properties. The hydrogel doped with NaCl (50 mg), CNT (10 mg) and M-SiO2 (200 mg) shows excellent mechanical and electrical properties, the tensile strength is 436 KPa, the break elongation is 426 %, the elastic modulus is 99 KPa, and the toughness is 897 kJ/m3. The modified sodium alginate hydrogel used as strain sensor shows fast response time (∼100 ms), high sensitivity factor and excellent stability. The strain sensor exhibits excellent flexibility, ductility, self-adhesion, anti-freezing and anti-drying properties, significantly enhancing its strain sensing application field.

Multifunctioning of carboxylic-cellulose nanocrystals on the reinforcement of compressive strength and conductivity for acrylic-based hydrogel. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 327:121685.

Abstract
Simultaneously having competitive compressive properties, fatigue-resistant stability, excellent conductivity and sensitivity has still remained a challenge for acrylic-based conductive hydrogels, which is critical in their use in the sensor areas where pressure is performed. In this work, an integrated strategy was proposed for preparing a conductive hydrogel based on acrylic acid (AA) and sodium alginate (SA) by addition of carboxylic-cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-COOH) followed by metal ion interaction to reinforce its compressive strength and conductivity simultaneously. The CNC-COOH played a multifunctional role in the hydrogel by well-dispersing SA and AA in the hydrogel precursor solution for forming a uniform semi-interpenetrating network, providing more hydrogen bonds with SA and AA, more -COOH for metal ion interactions to form uniform multi-network, and also offering high modulus to the final hydrogel. Accordingly, the as-prepared hydrogels showed simultaneous excellent compressive strength (up to 3.02 MPa at a strain of 70 %) and electrical conductivity (6.25 S m-1), good compressive fatigue-resistant (93.2 % strength retention after 1000 compressive cycles under 50 % strain) and high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 14.75). The hydrogel strain sensor designed in this work is capable of detecting human body movement of pressing, stretching and bending with highly sensitive conductive signals, which endows it great potential for multi-scenario strain sensing applications.

Abstract
This paper investigates physically crosslinked organo-hydrogels for total hip replacement surgery. Current materials in artificial joints have limitations in mechanical performance and biocompatibility. To overcome these issues, a new approach based on hydrogen bonds between polyvinyl alcohol, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), and glycerin is proposed to develop bioactive organo-hydrogels with improved mechanical properties and biocompatibility. This study analyzes local pathological characteristics, systemic toxicity, and mechanical properties of the gels. The results show that the gels possess excellent biocompatibility and mechanical strength, suggesting their potential as an alternative material for total hip replacement surgery. These findings contribute to improving patient outcomes in joint replacement procedures.

Abstract
Soft, conductive, and stretchable sensors are highly desirable in many applications, including artificial skin, biomonitoring patches, and so on. Recently, a combination of good electrical and mechanical properties was regarded as the most important evaluation criterion for judging whether hydrogel sensors are suitable for practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate a novel carboxylated carbon nanotube (MWCNT-COOH)-embedded P(AM/LMA)/SiO2@PANI hydrogel. The hydrogel benefits from a double-network structure (hydrogen bond cross-linking and hydrophobic connectivity network) due to the role of MWCNT-COOH and SiO2@PANI as cross-linkers, thus resulting in tough composite hydrogels. The obtained P(AM/LMA)/SiO2@PANI/MWCNT-COOH hydrogels exhibited high tensile strength (1939 kPa), super stretchability (3948.37%), and excellent strain sensitivity (gauge factor = 11.566 at 100-1100% strain). Obviously, MWCNT-COOH not only improved the electrical conductivity but also enhanced the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. Therefore, the integration of MWCNT-COOH and SiO2@PANI-based hydrogel strain sensors will display broad application in sophisticated intelligence, soft robotics, bionic prosthetics, personal health care, and other fields using inexpensive, green, and easily available biomass.

Abstract
The mechanical performance is critical for hydrogels that are used as strain sensors. p-Aramid nanofiber (ANF) is preferable as an additive to the reinforce the mechanical performance of a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). However, due to the limited hydrogen bond sites, the preparation of ultra-stretchable, ANF-based hydrogel strain sensor is still a challenge. Herein, we reported an ultra-stretchable PVA hydrogel sensor based on tea stain-inspired ANFs. Due to the presence of numerous phenol groups in the tannic acid (TA) layer, the interaction between PVA and the ANFs was significantly enhanced even though the mass ratio of TA@ANF in the hydrogel was 2.8 wt‰. The tensile breaking modulus of the PVA/TA@ANF/Ag hydrogel sensor was increased from 86 kPa to 326 kPa, and the tensile breaking elongation was increased from 356% to 602%. Meanwhile, the hydrogel became much softer, and no obvious deterioration of the flexibility was observed after repeated use. Moreover, Ag NPs were formed in situ on the surfaces of the ANFs, which imparted the sensor with electrical conductivity. The hydrogel-based strain sensor could be used to detect the joint movements of a finger, an elbow, a wrist, and a knee, respectively. This ultra-stretchable hydrogel described herein was a promising candidate for detecting large-scale motions.

Abstract
High strength polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/soy protein isolate (SPI) composite hydrogels (EPSG) were constructed by the introduction of PVA into SPI through the crosslinking with epichlorohydrin (ECH) and a freezing-thawing process. The EPSG hydrogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, X-ray diffraction and compressive test. The results revealed that chemical crosslinking interactions occurred for SPI and PVA during the fabrication process. The composite hydrogels exhibited a homogenous porous structure, indicating certain miscibility between PVA and SPI. The introduction of PVA increased the compressive strength of SPI hydrogels greatly, which could reach as high as 5.38 MPa with the water content ratio of 89.5%. Moreover, the water uptake ratio of completely dried SPI hydrogel (namely xerogel) decreased gradually from 327.4% to 148.1% with the incorporation of PVA, showing a better potential as implants. The cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility of the EPSG hydrogels were evaluated by a series of in vitro experiments. The results showed that the EPSG hydrogels had no cytotoxicity (cell viability values were above 86.7%), good biocompatibility and hemocompatibility, showing potential applications as a direct blood contact material in the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
As a kind of promising material for flexible wearable electronics, conductive hydrogels have attracted extensive interests of researchers for their inherent merits such as superior mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and permeability. Herein, we constructed a new type of highly stretchable, anti-freezing, self-healable, and conductive hydrogel based on chitosan/polyacrylic acid. The large amount of ions inside the network had five functions for the proposed hydrogel, including excellent mechanical behaviors, high conductivity, self-recovery, self-healing and anti-freezing capability. Consequently, the proposed hydrogel possessed tunable stretchability (1190-1550%), tensile strength (0.96-2.56 MPa), toughness (5.7-14.7 MJ/m3), superior self-healing property (self-healing efficiency up to 83.7%), high conductivity (4.58-5.76 S/m), and excellent anti-freezing capability. To our knowledge, the self-healable hydrogel with balanced tensile strength, toughness, conductivity, and low-temperature tolerance can hardly be achieved till now. Furthermore, the conductive hydrogels exhibited high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 10.8) in a broad strain window (0-1000%) and could detect the conventional motion signals of human body such as bending of a knuckle, swallowing, and pressure signal at both room temperature and -20 °C. Moreover, the hydrogels could also be fabricated as flexible detectors to identify different temperatures, different kinds of solutions, and different concentrations of the solution.

Stretchable, rapid self-healing guar gum-poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels as wearable strain sensors for human motion detection based on Janus graphene oxide. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 191:627-636. [PMID: 34536475 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.09.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Wearable strain sensors have received widespread attention in research fields due to their applications in human motion detection. In this manuscript, the fabrication of functionalized Janus graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were used by Pickering emulsion template. Polypyrrole (PPy) and poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) were asymmetrically grafted on the two sides of GO (GO@PPy/PDMAEMA Janus NS), which successfully applied to synthesize Janus NS/guar gum-poly(acrylic acid) (GG-PAA) self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels. The outstandingly improved self-healing efficiency (92.8% for 2 h) and mechanical properties (strength of 4.12 MPa and toughness of 873.8%) of nanocomposite hydrogels were mainly supported by the collaborative effect of reversible electrostatic interactions, multiple hydrogen bonds and metal-ligand coordination. Moreover, the hydrogels exhibited strain sensitivity and could be able to monitor a variety of human motions, which have outstanding application prospects in wearable flexible sensors.

Abstract
Sensors are devices that can capture changes in environmental parameters and convert them into electrical signals to output, which are widely used in all aspects of life. Flexible sensors, sensors made of flexible materials, not only overcome the limitations of the environment on detection devices but also expand the application of sensors in human health and biomedicine. Conductivity and flexibility are the most important parameters for flexible sensors, and hydrogels are currently considered to be an ideal matrix material due to their excellent flexibility and biocompatibility. In particular, compared with flexible sensors based on elastomers with a high modulus, the hydrogel sensor has better stretchability and can be tightly attached to the surface of objects. However, for hydrogel sensors, a poor mechanical lifetime is always an issue. To address this challenge, a self-healing hydrogel has been proposed. Currently, a large number of studies on the self-healing property have been performed, and numerous exciting results have been obtained, but there are few detailed reviews focusing on the self-healing mechanism and conductivity of hydrogel flexible sensors. This paper presents an overview of self-healing hydrogel flexible sensors, focusing on their self-healing mechanism and conductivity. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of different types of sensors have been summarized and discussed. Finally, the key issues and challenges for self-healing flexible sensors are also identified and discussed along with recommendations for the future.

Abstract
AbstractThe design and fabrication of electronic skin that mimics the human somatosensory system has attracted a great deal of attention. However, existing materials could hardly achieve the unique characteristics that natural skin possesses, including excellent mechanical flexibility, self‐healing ability, the sensory ability of tension, pressure, temperature, humidity, and the ability to secrete sweat through various sensory receptors and nervous pathways. In this paper, a new type of stretchable (over 2150%), tough (over 4 MJ m−3), conductive (up to 1.68 S m−1), and self‐healable (self‐healing efficiency up to 100%) organohydrogel with low‐temperature tolerance (stretchable below −50 °C) and multiple stimuli responsiveness is prepared by a simple “one‐pot” strategy at room temperature. The synthesized electronic skin with this organohydrogel can detect slight changes in tension, pressure, temperature, and humidity, and even distinguish between saline and alkaline solutions, showing high sensitivity in the broad strain window. This organohydrogel also has application prospects in humanoid robotics, flexible energy storage technologies, and health‐monitoring devices.
