Synergistic Reinforcement of Poly( <i>N</i> -isopropylacrylamide- <i>co</i> -acrylamide) Hydrogels via Ionic Liquid-Induced Noncovalent Interactions for Dual-Responsive Wearable Sensors

). The strategic incorporation of the IL induces extensive noncovalent interactions, including hierarchical hydrogen bonding and electrostatic coupling, which refine the network into a stable, amorphous three-dimensional (3D) architecture. This IL-mediated structural reinforcement endows the ILH with exceptional stretchability (1153 ± 2%) and rapid elastic recovery. Benefiting from superior ionic conductivity, the ILH functions as a high-performance dual-modal sensor with a gauge factor of 2.68 and a temperature coefficient of resistance of -1.12%/°C. The ILH wearable sensor demonstrates high-fidelity tracking of complex knee rehabilitation movements (e.g., flexion and squats) while simultaneously monitoring localized thermal fluctuations relevant to postsurgical inflammation. This molecular engineering strategy provides a facile route to high-performance, multifunctional hydrogel interfaces for personalized healthcare and clinical monitoring.

Abstract

). The strategic incorporation of the IL induces extensive noncovalent interactions, including hierarchical hydrogen bonding and electrostatic coupling, which refine the network into a stable, amorphous three-dimensional (3D) architecture. This IL-mediated structural reinforcement endows the ILH with exceptional stretchability (1153 ± 2%) and rapid elastic recovery. Benefiting from superior ionic conductivity, the ILH functions as a high-performance dual-modal sensor with a gauge factor of 2.68 and a temperature coefficient of resistance of -1.12%/°C. The ILH wearable sensor demonstrates high-fidelity tracking of complex knee rehabilitation movements (e.g., flexion and squats) while simultaneously monitoring localized thermal fluctuations relevant to postsurgical inflammation. This molecular engineering strategy provides a facile route to high-performance, multifunctional hydrogel interfaces for personalized healthcare and clinical monitoring.
