Bioinspired Liquid-Free Ion-Conductive Elastomers with Ultrahigh Mechanical Strength and Excellent Ionic Conductivity for Multifunctional Flexible Sensing Applications.

ABSTRACT: Liquid-free ion-conductive elastomers with excellent mechanical and electrical conductivity are widely used in flexible sensors, wearable devices, soft touch screens, and supercapacitors. However, the inherent contradiction between mechanical and electrical properties often limits the development of liquid-free ion-conductive elastomers. Therefore, the preparation of liquid-free ion-conductive elastomers with both high mechanical properties and high ionic conductivity remains a major challenge. In this study, a polyurethane elastomer with multiple crosslinking and a microphase-separated structures were designed, inspired by the "brick wall" structure of the pearl layer. A polyurethane-based liquid-free ion-conductive elastomer with excellent mechanical strength and outstanding ion-conducti
