Fabrication of high-toughness PEDOT:PSS-based conductive hydrogel strain/temperature sensors.

ABSTRACT: Conductive hydrogels have important potential applications in the field of flexible sensors; however, most hydrogel sensors usually possess only a single functional property. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel with both high mechanical toughness and temperature-responsive properties was successfully constructed by introducing PEDOT:PSS into polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate (PVA/SA) hydrogel networks. In this study, a multifunctional conductive hydrogel with both high mechanical toughness and temperature-responsive properties was constructed by modifying PEDOT:PSS with dilute sulfuric acid and introducing it into the PVA/SA hydrogel network. The modified PEDOT:PSS significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity (48.69 mS m^-1), mechanical properties (fracture strength o
