ABSTRACT
Strain/pressure sensors with high sensitivity and a wide operation range have broad application prospects in wearable medical equipment, human-computer interactions, electronic skin, and so on. In this work, based on the different solubilities of Zr4+ in the aqueous phase and the hydrophobic ionic liquid [BMIM][Tf2N], we used N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) as a vinyl monomer to prepare a Janus-type ionic conductive gel with one-sided adhesion through "one-step" UV irradiation polymerization. The Janus-type gel has satisfactory mechanical properties (tensile strength 217.06 kPa, elongation at break 1121.01%), electrical conductivity (conductivity 0.10 S m-1), one-sided adhesion (adhesion strength to glass 72.35 kPa) and antibacterial properties. The sensor based on the Janus gel can be used not only for real-time monitoring of strain changes caused by various movements of the human body (such as finger bending, muscle contraction, smiling, and swallowing) but also for real-time monitoring of pressure changes (such as pressing, water droplets, and writing movements). Therefore, based on the simplicity of this method for constructing Janus-type ionic conductive gels and the excellent electromechanical properties of the prepared gel, we believe that the method provided in this study has broad application prospects in the field of multifunctional wearable sensors.
