Peptide-enhanced tough, resilient and adhesive eutectogels for highly reliable strain/pressure sensing under extreme conditions
Abstract
Biomimetic hydrogel materials show outstanding mechanical properties but water as solvent or carrier limits the possibility to apply these materials under extreme conditions. Here the authors report a peptide-enhanced eutectogel with excellent mechanical, anti-freezing and anti-drying properties and its application as sensor for monitoring human motion.
