Traditional synthetic hydrogels generally have non-uniform network structures or lack energy dissipation mechanisms, resulting in poor mechanical properties, severely limiting their practical applications.

To further improve the mechanical properties of PA hydrogels, huang et al recently prepared ion-bond and metal-coordinate bond synergistically reinforced and toughened PA hydrogels by introducing metal-coordinate bonds into the hydrogel network using a simple secondary equilibrium method (Y. Huang, et al, "Strong drug polymeric hydrogels of ionic and metal-ligand bonds", advanced Functional Materials 31 (2021) 2103917.). The method can effectively strengthen and toughen the PA hydrogel mainly due to the fact that polyvalent metal ions can form metal coordination bonds with anionic groups in a hydrogel network, so that the original PA hydrogel network based on ionic bonds is adjusted and optimized, and synergistic toughening is realized.
On the basis, the invention further utilizes a pre-stretching treatment means to induce the orientation of polymer chains in the PA hydrogel network, and the obtained hydrogel not only has good conductivity in a water balance state, but also shows excellent strain response capability, can be used as a strain sensor, and expands the application of the hydrogel in the fields of biological tissue engineering, flexible electronics and the like.

Table 2: electrical property data of the hydrogel samples.
The pre-stretching ratio in the metal coordination pre-stretching induction orientation enhanced polyampholyte hydrogel prepared in examples 1-5 is constant at 4.0m/m, and only the concentration of iron ions changes. Comparative example 1 the pre-stretching ratio of the hydrogel sample prepared was 4.0m/m and the iron ion concentration was 0mol/L. Table 1 shows the mechanical property data of the hydrogel samples prepared in examples 1 to 5 and comparative example 1 in an equilibrium state in water. As can be seen from the data in the table, the tensile breaking strength of the hydrogel is increased from 2.10MPa to 7.35MPa with the increase of the iron ion concentration, and the tensile breaking strength is improved by 2.5 times. The concentration of iron ions in the hydrogel samples prepared in examples 6 to 11 was constant at 1.0mol/L, and only the pre-stretching ratio was changed, while the concentration of iron ions in the hydrogel sample prepared in comparative example 2 was 1.0mol/L and no pre-stretching external force was applied. Table 1 shows the mechanical property data of the hydrogel samples prepared in examples 6 to 11 and comparative example 2 in an equilibrium state in water. As can be seen from the data in the table, the tensile breaking strength of the hydrogel increased from 1.92MPa to 7.90MPa with an increase in the pre-stretching ratio by a factor of 3.1. The reason is mainly that the orientation degree of polymer chains in a hydrogel network is improved through the pre-stretching effect, and the formed metal coordination bonds can lock an orientation structure, so that the mechanical property is enhanced cooperatively. Examples 12 to 14 hydrogel samples prepared with a constant metal ion concentration of 1.0mol/L and a constant draw-down ratio of 4.0m/m, only of polyvalent metal ion species (Al) 3+ 、Ca 2+ 、Zn 2+ ) In contrast, comparative examples 3 and 4 were prepared in which only monovalent metal ions (Na) having no coordinating ability were selected for the hydrogel samples having a constant metal ion concentration of 1.0mol/L and a constant pre-stretching ratio of 4.0m/m + 、K + ). Table 1 also shows the mechanical properties of the hydrogels obtained in examples 12 to 14 and comparative examples 3 and 4. ByAs can be seen from the data in the tables, although the hydrogels of examples 12-14 all exhibited enhanced mechanical properties compared to the original polyampholyte hydrogel, the enhanced effect was different, probably due to the fact that the metal ions and-SO in the hydrogel network 3 - The strength of coordinate bonds between groups. Al with same charge and similar radius 3+ Ionic (8 e-configuration) phase comparison, fe 3+ Ions (18 e-configuration) tend to have some covalent properties, so Fe 3+ with-SO 3 - Coordination bond ratio between groups Al 3+ Is more stable. Zn 2+ And Ca 2+ The radius of the ion is 0.74 and
is slightly larger than Fe 3+ Ions. In addition, zn 2+ And Ca 2+ The charge of the ion being less than Fe 3+ The ions, and thus the relatively weak reinforcing effect, indicates that the strength of the coordinate bonds formed in the hydrogel can be significantly affected by the number of charges of the metal ions. From the data of comparative examples 3 and 4, it can be further seen that the metal coordinate bonds play an important role in the pre-stretch induced orientation-enhanced polyampholyte hydrogel.
The pre-stretching ratio in the metal coordination pre-stretching induction orientation enhanced polyampholyte hydrogel prepared in examples 1-5 was constant at 4.0m/m and only the concentration of iron ions was changed, and the pre-stretching ratio in the hydrogel sample prepared in comparative example 1 was 4.0m/m and the concentration of iron ions was 0mol/L. Table 2 shows the electrical property test data of the hydrogel samples prepared in examples 1 to 5 and comparative example 1 in the equilibrium state in water, including the electrical conductivity and the relative resistance to strain ratio (GF) of the samples over the smaller and larger strain ranges S And GF L ). As can be seen from the data in the table, the conductivity of the hydrogel is increased from 0.002 to 0.123 and is improved by 60.5 times along with the increase of the concentration of iron ions; GF S And GF L The increase from 1.00 and 1.62 to 5.26 and 9.00, respectively, is 4.3 and 4.6 times. Table 2 also shows the equilibrium state in water of the hydrogels prepared in examples 7 (2 times), 9 (3 times), 4 (4 times), 11 (5 times) and comparative example 2 (without pre-stretching)Electrical performance data. As can be seen from the data in the table, as the pre-stretching ratio is increased, the conductivity of the hydrogel is increased from 0.069 to 0.107, which is increased by 0.55 times; GF S And GF L The electrical performance is improved by 2.8 and 1.3 times from 1.49 and 5.68 to 7.41 and 13.0 respectively, and the remarkable improvement of the electrical performance is mainly attributed to that when the pre-stretching ratio is increased, polymer chains in the prepared hydrogel network are oriented along the pre-stretching direction, the hydrogel shrinks in the corresponding vertical pre-stretching direction, and the oriented structure is possibly more beneficial to the transmission of free ions in the hydrogel network, so that the conductivity of a sample is increased; when the pre-stretching force is released, the hydrogel sample will retract to some extent, which may make the resistance strain response more sensitive, as shown in fig. 1. The result shows that the pre-stretching ratio is increased, and the mechanical property, the conductivity and the resistance strain response sensitivity of the prepared hydrogel are also obviously improved.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and not for limiting the protection scope of the present invention, and although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
