Abstract:Preparing gel-based flexible sensors with high transparency and hydrophobicity is crucial for the development of emerging electronic skin. Based on this, the present work utilized an ammonium tetrabutyl tetrafluoroborate / trifluoroacetamide deep eutectic solvent as the fluorine-containing solvent system and poly(glycidyl methacrylate-lauric methacrylate) as the gelator to prepare PLG fluorinated eutectic gels. Characterization techniques such as FTIR, TGA, DSC, UV-vis, and flexible sensing were employed to investigate their microstructure, thermal stability, optical properties, hydrophobicity, mechanical properties, conductivity, and strain-sensing performance. The results showed that within the temperature range of 0~150 ℃, the maximum weight loss of the gel did not exceed 6%. The water contact angle reached 94o, the light transmittance exceeded 80%, the electrical conductivity was 3.02×10-3 S/m, and the sensitivity factor was as high as 1.96. The PLG hydrophobic eutectic gel exhibited excellent thermal stability, good hydrophobicity, high transparency, and highly sensitive sensing performance. The PLG hydrophobic eutectic gel exhibits excellent thermal stability, good hydrophobicity, high transparency, and highly sensitive sensing performance. It holds broad application prospects in the field of flexible strain sensors and can be used for monitoring human physiological activities, providing important material support for the innovative development of multifunctional gel-based flexible sensors.
