Abstract
AbstractDouble‐network hydrogels have outstanding mechanical characteristics but mostly suffer from poor self‐healing performance since most hydrogels are chemically crosslinked via covalent links for each network. In this work, a tough and self‐healing double network hydrogel with multiple dynamic non‐covalent bonds is developed by combining the hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide (HPAM) with a thermally reversible potassium ion crosslinked κ‐carrageenan (K+C) network through a dual physical crosslinked network strategy. Being the multiple dynamic non‐covalent bond interactions and dual physical crosslink networks, the K+C/HPAM DN hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical characteristics (tensile strength: 1.86 MPa, tensile strain: 1637%) and good self‐healing ability (maximum stress self‐healing efficiency: 87%, maximum tensile strength after self‐healing: 0.95 MPa). Due to the three‐dimensional pore structure and the conductive ions in the system, the K+C/HPAM DN hydrogel also achieves good strain sensing capabilities with a strain sensitivity of 2.98 (gauge factor, GF) in the 100% strain range. Even after being cut and self‐healed, the gel still exhibits good strain sensing capabilities (GF = 2.79), which is still better than the most similar DN hydrogel strain sensors in sensitivity. We believe this work offers a new material for self‐healing flexible strain sensors.
