Main Methods:

  • Thermal-initiated polymerization of acrylamide (AM) and acrylic acid (AA).
  • Incorporation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and a low-coverage cyclodextrin polyrotaxane cross-linker.
  • Characterization of mechanical properties, conductivity, and sensing abilities.

Main Results:

  • The slide-ring hydrogel exhibited significantly improved tensile strain (12.48 times its original length).
  • Achieved a conductivity of 0.65 S m-1, suitable for flexible electronics.
  • Demonstrated excellent resistive and triboelectric sensing for dual-modal wearable sensors.

Conclusions:

  • The novel slide-ring hydrogel offers superior mechanical performance compared to traditional polyrotaxane hydrogels.
  • The developed dual-modal sensors accurately capture joint motion for human-computer interaction.
  • This material holds significant potential for next-generation flexible electronics and wearable technology.
