Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Eutectogels from deep eutectic solvents (DESs) show promise for flexible sensors.
  • The hygroscopic nature of traditional eutectogels limits their use in underwater sensing applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a hydrophobic eutectogel with enhanced underwater stability for flexible sensor fabrication.
  • To demonstrate the potential of this material for durable underwater sensing and communication.

Main Methods:

  • One-step polymerization of lauryl methacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate in a hydrophobic DES.
  • Fabrication of underwater strain and pressure sensors using the synthesized hydrophobic eutectogel.
  • Evaluation of water resistance, mechanical properties, and sensor performance.

Main Results:

  • The hydrophobic eutectogel exhibited outstanding water resistance (water contact angle > 110°) and excellent mechanical properties in aqueous environments.
  • Sensors demonstrated high sensitivity, rapid responsiveness, and extraordinary durability (over 1000 testing cycles).
  • The eutectogel sensor successfully transmitted information via Morse code, functioning as a wearable underwater communicator.

Conclusions:

  • A novel hydrophobic eutectogel was successfully synthesized, overcoming the limitations of hygroscopicity for underwater applications.
  • The developed material enables the creation of highly durable and sensitive underwater flexible sensors.
  • This research presents a viable approach for hydrophobic eutectogels in long-term underwater sensing and communication devices.
