Abstract: AbstractElectroactive hydrogels have received increasing attention due to the possibility of being used in biomimetics, such as for soft robotics and artificial muscles. However, the applications are hindered by the poor mechanical properties and slow response time. To address these issues, in this study, supramolecular ionic polymer–carbon nanotube (SIPC) composite hydrogels were fabricated via in situ free radical polymerization. The polymer matrix … Show more

“…Consequently, the osmotic pressure difference within the tissue becomes the driving force making the sclera bends toward the cathode. [19][20][21] The differential osmotic pressure created at the boundaries has been recognized as the main reason for the mechanical bending of polyelectrolyte hydrogels under electric stimulation. [22][23][24] The electroactive bending response of sclera is dependent on the magnitude of the applied voltage because the speed of mobile ions (i.e.…”

“…Typically, the inclusion of CNTs or graphene can significantly improve the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the final materials [ 11 , 12 , 13 ], thereby showing a broad application prospect. For example, Tang et al [ 14 ] developed a single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)-reinforced supramolecular polymer hydrogel via in situ free radical polymerization. Owing to the reinforcement effect of the SWCNTs, the resulting nanocomposites showed both an improved tensile strength (over 300%) and a faster electromechanical response capability.…”

“…Deng et al 18 successfully prepared hydrogels with good electrical conductivity and mechanical properties by using physically modified carbon nanotubes. Graphene oxide is a kind of graphene derivative, which also has a two-dimensional structure, 19 and because of the existence of oxygenated functional groups, graphene oxide is more active in terms of physical properties, and shows excellent properties in mechanical, optical, and electrical aspects. Zhao et al 20 successfully introduced GO into a hydrogel through one-pot in situ polymerization, and the prepared conductive nanocomposite hydrogel showed excellent tensile properties and good strain sensitivity.…”
