Sensing properties of the human skin are inspiring for the design of stretchable iontronics but achieving self-healing properties, elasticity and effective control of ion dynamics at the same time is challenging. Here, the Authors report a Cl-functionalized iontronic pressure sensitive material and realize good self-healing properties and mechanosensitive piezo-ionic dynamics.
