Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced mechanical properties in ionogels, suggesting better performance for flexible devices.

Key Points

  • The aim is to improve the mechanical performance and sensing capabilities of ionogels using microphase separation.
  • One-pot, UV-triggered copolymerization of side-chain liquid crystal and polymerizable ionic liquid monomers
  • Regulation of side-chain liquid crystal monomer concentration
  • Fabrication of ionogel-based strain sensors
  • Achieved tensile strength of 1.65 MPa and fracture toughness of 4 MJ m–3
  • Elongation at break of 360% indicating high flexibility
  • Toughened ionogel sensors showed high sensitivity and robust cycling stability for physiological signal monitoring
