High‐Performance P( <scp>AM</scp> ‐ <scp>AMPS</scp> )‐ <scp>PVP</scp> Conductive Hydrogel for Morse Code Recognition and Flexible Strain Sensors

ABSTRACT In the field of advancing flexible sensor technologies, achieving both high conductivity and mechanical flexibility in hydrogel materials remains a critical challenge. To address this issue, a flexible conductive gel based on a synergistic P(AM‐AMPS)‐PVP network (PAAP) was developed. Through the formation of a hydrogen‐bonding network and continuous ion transport pathways, the gel achieves a balanced improvement in electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. The resulting PAAP gel exhibits an exceptional tensile strain capacity of up to 1811%, notable ionic conductivity (59.41 mS/cm), and a very low elastic modulus (&lt; 10 kPa), indicating strong structural resilience and adaptability under strain. These characteristics make the gel particularly suitable for use in flexible strain sensing and Morse code signal recognition. When integrated with a support vector machine (SVM) classification model, the system enables precise identification of “dot‐dash” signal patterns, achieving classification accuracy exceeding 95%. This work provides a promising approach and theoretical basis for the development of flexible hydrogels in intelligent sensing, information decoding, and wearable communication technologies.

Abstract

ABSTRACT In the field of advancing flexible sensor technologies, achieving both high conductivity and mechanical flexibility in hydrogel materials remains a critical challenge. To address this issue, a flexible conductive gel based on a synergistic P(AM‐AMPS)‐PVP network (PAAP) was developed. Through the formation of a hydrogen‐bonding network and continuous ion transport pathways, the gel achieves a balanced improvement in electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. The resulting PAAP gel exhibits an exceptional tensile strain capacity of up to 1811%, notable ionic conductivity (59.41 mS/cm), and a very low elastic modulus (&lt; 10 kPa), indicating strong structural resilience and adaptability under strain. These characteristics make the gel particularly suitable for use in flexible strain sensing and Morse code signal recognition. When integrated with a support vector machine (SVM) classification model, the system enables precise identification of “dot‐dash” signal patterns, achieving classification accuracy exceeding 95%. This work provides a promising approach and theoretical basis for the development of flexible hydrogels in intelligent sensing, information decoding, and wearable communication technologies.
