Description
Wenjuan Wang and co-authors build a strong, heat tolerant gel for flexible electronics in a 2026 paper. Ionogels conduct ions and bend, but strength, conductivity, and heat resistance usually trade off. Their gel joins cellulose with polyvinyl alcohol in a double network, set through a solvent swap step. The dense inner structure holds the three traits together.
The gel reaches high tensile strength, strong ionic conductivity, and stability up to 135 degrees Celsius, they report. Sensors made from it detect pressure, temperature, touch, and even human pulse signals. It also charges and discharges reversibly as a supercapacitor electrolyte. The design points toward tougher soft devices.
