Abstract
Wearable strain sensors have received widespread attention in research fields due to their applications in human motion detection. In this manuscript, the fabrication of functionalized Janus graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were used by Pickering emulsion template. Polypyrrole (PPy) and poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) were asymmetrically grafted on the two sides of GO (GO@PPy/PDMAEMA Janus NS), which successfully applied to synthesize Janus NS/guar gum-poly(acrylic acid) (GG-PAA) self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels. The outstandingly improved self-healing efficiency (92.8% for 2 h) and mechanical properties (strength of 4.12 MPa and toughness of 873.8%) of nanocomposite hydrogels were mainly supported by the collaborative effect of reversible electrostatic interactions, multiple hydrogen bonds and metal-ligand coordination. Moreover, the hydrogels exhibited strain sensitivity and could be able to monitor a variety of human motions, which have outstanding application prospects in wearable flexible sensors.
