Abstract

Humic acid (HA), a natural organic compound rich in carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl, and quinone groups, was incorporated into hydrogels to enhance mechanical strength, antifreeze performance, UV resistance, and adhesion. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), extracted using phytic acid (PA), were co-introduced with HA into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/β-glycerophosphate (β-GP) network. The abundant functional groups in HA provided additional cross-linking sites, forming a robust three-dimensional structure. After freeze-thaw treatment, the hydrogel exhibited a tensile strength of 4.4 MPa and UV transmittance as low as 0.0027% in the 200-400 nm range. Furthermore, β-GP modulated hydrogen bonding among water molecules, significantly improving antifreeze capability and enabling stable, sensitive detection of human motion and signal transmission at -20 °C. These results demonstrate the potential of HA-functionalized hydrogels as flexible sensors for operation in complex and low-temperature environments, broadening their applicability in wearable and bioelectronic systems.

基于腐植酸和纤维素纳米晶体的防冻纳米复合水凝胶柔性传感器。
腐植酸(HA)是一种富含羧基、酚羟基和醌基团的天然有机化合物,被加入到水凝胶中,以提高机械强度、防冻性能、抗紫外线和附着力。将植酸(PA)提取的纤维素纳米晶体(CNCs)与透明质酸共引入聚乙烯醇(PVA)/β-甘油磷酸酯(β-GP)网络中。HA中丰富的官能团提供了额外的交联位点,形成了坚固的三维结构。经冻融处理后的水凝胶抗拉强度为4.4 MPa,在200 ~ 400 nm范围内紫外透过率低至0.0027%。此外,β-GP调节了水分子之间的氢键,显著提高了防冻能力,并在-20°C下实现了稳定、灵敏的人体运动检测和信号传输。这些结果证明了ha功能化水凝胶作为在复杂和低温环境中工作的柔性传感器的潜力,扩大了它们在可穿戴和生物电子系统中的适用性。
