Skin-like mechanoresponsive self-healing ionic elastomer from supramolecular zwitterionic network

Ionic skins are of interest for a range of electronic, sensing and interfacing applications but often have trade-offs in properties. Here, the authors report on the creation of a dual network ionic skin using a supramolecular zwitterionic competing network to produce a strain-stiffening, self-healin...

Description
Summary:Ionic skins are of interest for a range of electronic, sensing and interfacing applications but often have trade-offs in properties. Here, the authors report on the creation of a dual network ionic skin using a supramolecular zwitterionic competing network to produce a strain-stiffening, self-healing adhesive sensor.
