Abstract:

Eutectogels are emerging as soft material with great promise for application in soft electronics. However, they are generally unable to maintain autonomous self-healing and adhesiveness in submerged and humid environments, which causes some limitations to their applicability. Moreover, they often fail to undergo closed-loop recycling, due to the general presence of chemical cross-linking. Here, a amphiphilic eutectogel synthesized via a one-step photopolymerization strategy within a tailored deep eutectic solvent (DES) system, employing purely physical cross-linking mechanisms. Underwater, nanoscale phase-separated structures (similar to 14.6 nm), triggered by hydrophobic aggregation in solution, arise from dominant hydrophobic interactions among polymer chains. These distinct domains facilitate efficient water drainage at the gel-substrate interface and impart excellent water resistance. The resulting eutectogel exhibits autonomous self-healing and robust adhesion in both air and underwater environments. The eutectogel could achieve closed-loop recycling without affecting their mechanical properties and adhesive performance. By finely tuning the dynamic interactions between polymer chains and DES, the gel achieves a physically crosslinked polymeric network with enhanced mechanical resilience and environmental stability across broad temperature ranges. The DES acts as a medium for monomer polymerization, facilitating synergistic interactions and homogeneous phase distribution, enabling synergistic interactions between hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers, offering a universal strategy for eutectogel fabrication. The presence of freely mobile ions allows the gel to function as both a strain and pressure sensor in air and underwater, including applications in human motion sensing and information transmission, highlighting its immense potential for multifunctional sensing and wearable systems.
