Abstract:
Hydrophobically associated conductive hydrogels have great attention due to their excellent properties like stretchability, self-healing, energy dissipation mechanism and strain sensor. But hydrophobically associated hydrogels have poor mechanical properties and weak strain and time response to external stimuli. In this work toenhance the mechanical properties and response to stimuli, Acrylamide- co-Butyl acrylate / Guar Gum based conductive hydrogels were prepared. SDS work as micelle forming agent while NaCl makes hydrogel as conductive in nature. The results show that our strain sensing reached upto 400%, fracture stress and fracture strain reached 0.5 MPa and 401% respectively. Beside this it having excellent response to multiple cycle without any fracture utpo 180 sec continuously stretching and unstreching and excellent time response. The hydrophobic hydrogels show good response to human motion like finger, wrest, and writing. Which indicate that our prepared hydrogel can monitor human body motion. The functional groups and morphology were confirmed from FTTR and SEM respectively.
