  • 摘要: 壳聚糖基导电水凝胶在电子皮肤、健康监测和柔性穿戴电子等领域得到广泛关注。本文将MXene分散到丙烯酸-壳聚糖水溶液中,丙烯酸原位聚合成聚丙烯酸,制备了壳聚糖-聚丙烯酸-MXene导电水凝胶(CS-PAA-MXene)。CS-PAA-MXene具有优异的力学性能,其断裂应变为1450%,断裂应力为0.6 MPa,韧性达到2.6 MJ·m−3。CS-PAA-MXene能够粘附于多种物体表面,包括玻璃、塑料、橡胶、铜片和铝片等,其中对玻璃的最大剥离力可达到175 N·m−1;CS-PAA-MXene具有优异的自修复性能,切断的CS-PAA-MXene相互接触2.5 s后,其电阻恢复到切断前数值。CS-PAA-MXene应变传感器被成功用于检测人体各类活动,如手指、手肘和膝盖等关节弯曲活动。基于壳聚糖的阳离子电荷及其抗菌特性,CS-PAA-MXene将在自粘附和高延展的柔性传感器具有良好的应用前景。

     

    Abstract: Chitosan-based conductive hydrogels have attracted extensive attention in electronic skins, human health monitoring, and flexible wearable sensors. In this work, MXene was dispersed in acrylic acid-chitosan solution, and then the acrylic acid monomer was in situ polymerized to synthesis the chitosan-poly(acrylic acid)-MXene hydrogels (CS-PAA-MXene). CS-PAA-MXene shows excellent mechanical properties. The tensile strength of the CS-PAA-MXene is as high as 0.6 MPa, and its elongation at break and toughness reach 1450% and 2.6 MJ·m−3, respectively. CS-PAA-MXene can adhere to various surfaces, including glass, plastic, rubber, copper and aluminum, etc. The maximum peeling force on the glass can reach 175 N·m−1. After the cut CS-PAA-MXene contacts each other for 2.5 s, its resistance value returns to the pre-cut value, suggesting CS-PAA-MXene has excellent self-healing performance. CS-PAA-MXene strain sensors have been successfully used to detect a wide range of human movements, such as the joint flexions of finger, elbow and knee. Due to the cationic charge and antibacterial properties of chitosan, CS-PAA-MXene conductive hydrogels will have a good application prospect in self-adhesive and high-extensibility flexible sensors.
