Multimodal Wearable Ionoskins Enabling Independent Recognition of External Stimuli Without Crosstalk (Small 37/2023)

Phase-Transition Ion Gels In article number 2301868, Hong Chul Moon and co-workers report highly deformable and thermo-responsive ion gels produced by simply blending PS-r-PnBMA (copolymer gelator) and [BMI][TFSI] (ionic liquid). The functional gel-based sensory platforms can successfully recognize thermal and mechanical environmental changes through variations in the optical (transmittance) and electrical (resistance) properties of the ion gel, respectively, implying high practicality of on-skin multi-modal wearable sensors.
