AI Article Synopsis

  • Bioinformation is essential in daily life, and wearable bioelectronics rely on conductive hydrogel fibers for real-time sensing of this information.
  • Current conductive hydrogel fibers face issues like low conductivity and stability, prompting the development of a new zwitterionic organohydrogel (ZOH) fiber using an innovative synthesis approach.
  • The ZOH fiber exhibits impressive features including high transparency, stretchability, and long-term stability, and it proves effective as a biosensor for monitoring motion and bioelectric signals, as well as having potential for optogenetic applications.

Article Abstract

Bioinformation plays an imperative role in day-to-day life. Wearable bioelectronics are important for sensing bioinformation in real-time and conductive hydrogel fibers are a key component in next generation wearable bioelectronics. However, current conductive hydrogel fibers have remarkable disadvantages such as insufficient conductivity, stability, and bioinformation sensing ability. Here, we report the synthesis of a zwitterionic organohydrogel (ZOH) fiber by the combination of the mold method and solvent replacement strategy. The ZOH fiber shows transparency (92.1%), stretchability (905.8%), long-term stability, anti-freezing ability (-35-60 °C), and low light transmission loss (0.17 dB/cm). Then, we integrate the ZOH fiber into fabric for use as a bioinformation sensor, the results prove its capability as a bioinformation monitor, monitoring information such as motion and bioelectric signals. In addition, the potential of the ZOH fiber in optogenetic applications is also confirmed.
