Abstract | Hydrogels are promising materials in the applications of wound adhesives, wearable electronics, tissue engineering, implantable electronics, etc. The properties of a hydrogel rely strongly on its composition. However, the optimization of hydrogel properties has been a big challenge as increasing numbers of components are added to enhance and synergize its mechanical, biomedical, electrical, and self-healable properties. Here in this work, it is shown that high-throughput screening can efficiently and systematically explore the effects of multiple components (at least eight) on the properties of polysulfobetaine hydrogels, as well as provide a useful database for diverse applications. The optimized polysulfobetaine hydrogels that exhibit outstanding self-healing and mechanical properties, have been obtained by high-throughput screening. By compositing with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), intrinsically self-healable and stretchable conductors are achieved. It is further demonstrated that a polysulfobetaine hydrogel-based electronic skin, which exhibits exceptionally fast self-healing capability of the whole device at ambient conditions. This work successfully extends high-throughput synthetic methodology to the field of hydrogel electronics, as well as demonstrates new directions of healable flexible electronic devices in terms of material development and device design. |
