Overview

Experimental study demonstrates tough hydrophobic ionogel fibers with high stretchability and sensitivity, suggesting broad utility for wearable sensing in extreme environments.

Key Points

Develop robust, stretchable, and environmentally tolerant hydrophobic ionogel fibers for flexible strain sensing under harsh conditions.
Synthesized hydrophobic ionogel fibers via molecularly engineered polymerization-induced phase separation inspired by biological composites.
Embedded rigid hydrogen-bonded polyacrylamide nanophases into an elastic fluoropolymer matrix to construct continuous ion-transport pathways.
Assessed mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, self-healing, underwater adhesion, and strain sensing across diverse temperatures, vacuum levels, and humidity conditions.
Achieved a fracture strength of 4.5 MPa, toughness of 24.6 MJ/m³, and stretchability of approximately 900%.
Demonstrated high strain sensitivity with a gauge factor of 11.5 across extreme operating conditions, including temperatures from -40°C to 100°C, 1.325 kPa vacuum, 98% relative humidity, and underwater immersion.
