Morphological Hydrogel Microfibers with MXene Encapsulation for Electronic Skin.

ABSTRACT: Electronic skins with distinctive features have attracted remarkable attention from researchers because of their promising applications in flexible electronics. Here, we present novel morphologically conductive hydrogel microfibers with MXene encapsulation by using a multi-injection coflow glass capillary microfluidic chip. The coaxial flows in microchannels together with fast gelation between alginate and calcium ions ensure the formation of hollow straight as well as helical microfibers and guarantee the in situ encapsulation of MXene. The resultant hollow straight and helical MXene hydrogel microfibers were with highly controllable morphologies and package features. Benefiting from the easy manipulation of the microfluidics, the structure compositions and the sizes of MXene hydro
