Developing flexible multifunctional sensors that combine humidity, temperature, and strain sensing properties is a challenge. In this paper, PVA/YPs/HPO/AgNPs (PYHA) flexible composite films loaded with Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized through in situ reduction and solution casting using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), yam polysaccharide (YPs), phosphoric acid (HPO), and silver nitrate (AgNO) as raw materials, which exhibited sensitivity to humidity, temperature, and strain. The prepared PYHA humidity sensor was capable of generating stable electrical signals through adsorption and desorption over the relative humidity (RH) range of 35-95 %. Furthermore, the humidity sensor displayed minimal hysteresis (2.17 % RH) and excellent linearity (R = 0.973) during respiratory rate monitoring in different body states. As a temperature sensor, the PYHA sensor was capable of sensing human body temperature, exhibiting strong temperature sensitivity (TCR = -1.058 % °C) and maintaining excellent linearity (R = 0.994) ranging from 35 to 95 °C in temperature. Moreover, the PYHA flexible strain sensor boasted an extensive strain detection range (1-320 %) and swift response/reply time (0.8/1.1 s), and detected physiological signals due to large movements of body joints and weak changes in facial expressions. Therefore, the designed PYHA multifunctional sensor has a promising use in flexible wearable.

Ionic devices find applications such as flexible electronics and biomedicines and function by exploiting hybrid circuits of mobile ions and electrons. However, the poor interfacial compatibility of hard electronic conductors with soft ionic conductors in ionic devices leads to low deformability, sensitivity, electromechanical responses, and stability. Herein, an interpenetrating interface between silicone-modified polyurethane/carbon nanotube electronic conductors and ionoelastomers in an ionic device using in situ polymerization is fabricated.

The rise of wearable electronics demands flexible energy storage solutions like flexible fiber energy storage devices (FESDs), known for their flexibility and portability. However, it remains difficult for existing fabrication methods (typically, finite-coating, thermal-drawing, and solution-extrusion) to simultaneously achieve desirable electrochemical performances and fast production of FESDs. Here, a new scalable coating-extrusion method is developed, utilizing a novel extruded spinneret with tapered apertures to create dual pressure zones.

In this paper, the dispersion stability of graphene was effectively promoted by the introduction of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), a novel composite hydrogel PAM-LMA-PDA@TiO-GN was prepared. Polyacrylamide (PAM) provided the basic three-dimensional network structure, lauryl methacrylate (LMA), as the hydrophobic monomer, constructed the hydrophobic associative micro-regions inside the hydrogel, which enhanced the structural stability, and polydopamine-coated TiO (PDA@TiO), as a nano-toughness enhancement point, which endowed the hydrogel with a stress and strain of 1026 kPa and 2519 %, respectively. Hydrogels loaded with Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) and graphene (GN) were prepared using Ag nanowires as the intercalating agent, graphene as the substrate and hydrogel as the carrier, graphene and Ag nanowires endow the hydrogels with excellent electron transport capabilities.
