Soft conductive elastomers with low hysteresis over a wide range of stretchability are desirable in various applications. Such applications include soft sensors with a long measurement range, motion recognition, and electronic skin, just to name a few. Even though the measurement capability of the sensors based on soft materials has been greatly improved compared to the traditional ones in recent years, hysteresis in the loading and unloading states has limited the applications of these sensors, thereby neg. affecting their accuracy and reliability. In this work, conductive elastomers with near-zero hysteresis have been formulated and fabricated using 3D printing. These elastomers are made by combining highly stretchable dielec. elastomer formulations with a polar hydrophobic ionic liquid and polymerizing under UV light. High-performance piezoresistive sensors have been fabricated and characterized, with a 10-fold stretchability and low hysteresis (1.2%) over long-term stability (more than 10 000 cycles under cyclic stress) with a 20 ms response time. Addnl., the current elastomers displayed fast mech. and elec. self-healing properties. Using 3D printing in conjunction with some of our structural innovations, we have fabricated smart gloves to show this material’s wide range of applications in soft robots, motion detection, wearable devices, and medical care. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,2′-Oxybis(ethan-1-ol) (cas: 111-46-6Computed Properties of C4H10O3).
2,2′-Oxybis(ethan-1-ol) (cas: 111-46-6) belongs to alcohols. A strong base can deprotonate an alcohol to yield an alkoxide ion (R―O−). For example, sodamide (NaNH2), a very strong base, abstracts the hydrogen atom of an alcohol. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon-carbon bonds, whereas primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or further oxidized to carboxylic acids.Computed Properties of C4H10O3
