摘要

Hypothesis: Despite their non-volatility, low cost, and recyclability, physical eutectogels’ appeal is hindered by the intricate fabrication process and the involvement of hazardous chemicals. The network of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in deep eutectic solvent (choline chloride and glycerol) might be developed by the addition of microgels of polyacrylic acid (Carbopol). Experiments: Hydrogen-bond interactions between Carbopol and PVA are revealed through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The impact of microgels on crystalline domains and the polymer network can be observed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The physical properties of the eutectogel, including mechanical strength and ionic conductivity, are investigated as well. Finally, the strain-sensing ability and remarkable recyclability of the eutectogel are demonstrated. Findings: The physical eutectogel can be obtained through a one-step fabrication process using only green and low-cost materials. It demonstrates robust strength (1.02 MPa) and remarkable stretchability (1000 % strain). This is attributed to the uniform dispersion of PVA crystalline domains within the deep eutectic solvent, facilitated by the hydrogen bonds and space restriction effects between PVA and Carbopol. Furthermore, the physical eutectogel with recyclability can consistently generate electrical resistance signals, highlighting its potential as a reliable strain sensor.
