Highly synergistic, electromechanical and mechanochromic dual-sensing ionic skin with multiple monitoring, antibacterial, self-healing, and anti-freezing functions

Abstract

Bionic ionic skins, having ionic transduction and chromotropic trait as chameleons, along with multiple sensing, antibacterial, self-healing, and anti-freezing functions, are of great importance in a wide range of applications,...

Ultrafast, autonomous self-healable iontronic skin exhibiting piezo-ionic dynamics

“…In addition, as presented in Fig. 2f, CLiPS exhibits fast selfhealing speed of 4.3 µm/min as compared with other roomtemperature self-healing dielectric elastomers and ionic-based materials with different healing mechanisms, including imine bonds, metal coordination, hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, electrostatic interactions, and their combinations 9,15,25,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] . The proposed CLiPS demonstrated superior performance in terms of the significant metrics in selfhealing evaluation: healing speed (4.3 µm/min) and autonomous driving force.…”

Facile preparation of amorphous photonic structure towards rapid temperature sensing and antibacterial textile

“…According to the previously reported literature, 28 the surface antibacterial activities of original textiles (negative control), textiles coated with APS film but without Ag NPs (APS textile) and textiles coated with APS film doped with Ag NPs (APS/Ag textiles) against representative bacteria, namely Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were tested. In a typical procedure, a textile sample was put into a sterile test tube.…”

“…The possible reason is that the slightly acidic environment caused by the carboxyl group on the surface of P(St-BA-MAA) particles is unfavorable to the survival of bacteria. 48,49 However, APS/Ag textiles can kill almost all of the bacteria, showing excellent antibacterial activity. Qualitative evaluation of the antibacterial ability of bacteria is made by calculating the parameter of logarithmic reduction value of bacteria.…”

3D printed, environment tolerant all-solid-state capacitive ionic skin

“…4(h)). 14,15,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] This is important for the use of self-healing exible conductive devices in polar regions.…”
