TLDR
A new class of polymeric material crosslinked through rationally designed multistrength hydrogen bonding interactions is reported, which realizes exceptional mechanical properties such as notch-insensitive high stretchability, high toughness, and autonomous self-healing even in artificial sweat.Abstract:
An electronic (e-) skin is expected to experience significant wear and tear over time. Therefore, self-healing stretchable materials that are simultaneously soft and with high fracture energy, that is high tolerance of damage or small cracks without propagating, are essential requirements for the realization of robust e-skin. However, previously reported elastomers and especially self-healing polymers are mostly viscoelastic and lack high mechanical toughness. Here, a new class of polymeric material crosslinked through rationally designed multistrength hydrogen bonding interactions is reported. The resultant supramolecular network in polymer film realizes exceptional mechanical properties such as notch-insensitive high stretchability (1200%), high toughness of 12 000 J m-2 , and autonomous self-healing even in artificial sweat. The tough self-healing materials enable the wafer-scale fabrication of robust and stretchable self-healing e-skin devices, which will provide new directions for future soft robotics and skin prosthetics.read more

TL;DR: The synthesis of hydrogels from polymers forming ionically and covalently crosslinked networks is reported, finding that these gels’ toughness is attributed to the synergy of two mechanisms: crack bridging by the network of covalent crosslinks, and hysteresis by unzipping thenetwork of ionic crosslinks.
