Abstract
Deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based hydrogels are environmentally friendly and structurally tunable, yet their applications are often limited by poor conductivity, weak resilience and rigidity. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel (DC-TAZn) was developed by reinforcing a choline chloride-polyacrylic acid (ChCl-PAA) matrix with size-reduced cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and dynamic tannic acid-Zn2+ coordination. The hydrogel exhibits high ionic conductivity (0.34 S/m), excellent stretchability (up to 807%), remarkable resilience (>99.89%), and a reliable gauge factor (1.99) for strain sensing. Additionally, DC-TAZn hydrogel shows strong adhesion, self-healing ability and antibacterial activity, while maintaining functionality under extreme conditions. This multi-synergistic hydrogel provides a sustainable strategy for designing next-generation smart hydrogels with integrated mechanical, conductive, and sensing functionalities, advancing applications in wearable electronics and intelligent human-machine interfaces.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
