Abstract:In this study, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) was prepared by ethylene glycol (EG) and zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), and it was used as solvent replacing water. Acrylamide (AM) was used as a monomer, and polyacrylamide (PAM) was polymerized under UV irradiation. Then, the cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were introduced to enhance mechanical properties, resulting in a DES-PVA/PAM/CNF antifreeze double network gel. The results showed that the prepared DES-PVA/PAM/CNF antifreeze double network gels exhibited the best antifreeze performance with freezing point as low as -73.03 ℃ when the molar ratio of ZnCl2 to EG was 1∶5. Further investigation of the effects of CNF content on the gel properties revealed that the best overall performances were achieved when the CNF content was 0.4% (based on the mass of EG). At normal temperature, the fracture strength of the gel was up to 0.94 MPa, and the strain at break was 844.5%, at low temperature, the fracture strength was still maintained at 0.92 MPa, exhibiting excellent adaptability at low temperatures. In addition, after assembling the gel as a strain sensor, the monitoring of human skin-attached motion was successfully realized.
