This research reports a method of using betaine and metal ions to construct high-conductive hydrogels, and successfully prepares PAA-Al3+/betaine hydrogels with high toughness and antifreezing property. The hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties, conductivity, transparency, and low cytotoxicity, and can be used for motion detection and information recognition.
Hydrogel sensors are fascinating as flexible sensors and electronic skin due to their excellent biocompatibility and structure controllability. However, developing conductive hydrogels possessing both excellent mechanical and antifreezing properties for environmental-adaptive sensors remains a challenge. Herein, a strategy of combining betaine and metal ions to construct poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-based high-conductive hydrogels has been reported. PAA-Al3+/betaine hydrogels with high toughness and antifreezing property were prepared by a one-step UV curing method. Their high toughness is attributed to the coordination of metal ions with the carboxylic groups in PAA, the interaction of betaine with PAA, and the formation of hydrogen bonds between them and water molecules. Moreover, the significant antifreezing property is due to the reduction of free water in the hydrogel. This, in turn, is attributed to the hydration of metal ions and the synergistic hydrogen bonding between betaine and water. The experiments demonstrate that the hydrogel has excellent mechanical property, high conductivity, superior transparency, antiswelling property, antipuncture as well as shape memory properties, and especially, low cytotoxicity. It can be used as a sensor for motion detection and information recognition. This work provides new insights into the application of flexible sensors and human-machine interfaces in multienvironmental conditions.
