Abstract: Self-healing, adhesive conductive hydrogels are of great significance in wearable electronic devices, flexible printable electronics and tissue engineering scaffolds. However, to design the self-healing hydrogels with multi-functional properties such as high conductivity, excellent mechanical property and high sensitivity remains a challenge. In this work, the conductive self-healing nanocomposite hydrogels based on nanoclay (laponite), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) and N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) is presented. The presented nanocomposite hydrogels displayed good electrical conductivity, rapid self-healing and adhesive property, flexible and stretchable mechanical property and high sensitivity to NIR light and temperature. These excellent properties of the hydrogels are demonstrated by 3D bulky pressure dependent device, and human activity monitoring device and 3D printed gridding scaffolds. Good cytocompatibility of the conductive hydrogels was also evaluated with L929 fibroblast cells. These nanocomposite hydrogels have great potential in application of stimuli responsive electrical device, wearable electronics and so on.

1. Introduction Flexible and wearable hydrogel with decent biocompatibility, high sensitivity, lightweight, robust stretchability and potential self-healing property and adhesive ability for sensors applications, have attracted lots of research interest in recent years due to their potential applications for human activity monitoring and biomedical diagnosis in present and future.1-3 These smart hydrogel sensors can transform external stimulus such as heat, pressure, voice, strain and light into recorded electrical signals.4-5 Electrical conductivity is essential for these hydrogels for human motions sensing and conducting components such as carbon materials (nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene), polyaniline, polypyrrole and polythiophene were brought into hydrogels matrix by chemical or physical method to obtain decent electrical conductivity.6-8 Among them, highly conductive and easy processing carbon materials are outstanding candidates for conductive nanocomposites preparation. Graphene based materials have been reported for stretchable sensors and artificial electronic skin,9 and CNTs are widely used because of their high conductivity and desirable dispersibility.10 Moreover, it demonstrated high efficiency of transformation of near-infrared (NIR) light into heat, and the hydrogels could exhibit photothermal behavior after bringing CNTs into the hydrogel matrix. Apart from the electrical conductivity, the stimuli-responsive property is highly demanded for human motion sensing application. Moreover, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) is a typical thermal-sensitive monomer for synthesis of functional stimuli-responsive hydrogels.11 The hydrogel of PNIPAM showed a sharp volume change around 33 °C, and the volume change may 3

also trigger the variation of conductivity for sensor application.12 These properties make combination of PNIPAM hydrogel and CNT excellent candidate for human motion sensing application. The self-healing hydrogels with favorable mechanical property and adhesiveness have brought great interest in recent years because self-healing ability could prolong the lifespan of materials and exhibited application in self-healing electronic device and biomedical field.13-15 Self-healing hydrogels have been synthesized via host-guest interaction, dynamic chemical bonds, H-bonds, and metal-coordination complex, etc.16 Recently, nanocomposite hydrogels17-18 based on nanoclay and hydrophilic monomers have been extensively researched because the nanoclay severs as a physical crosslinker and endows the hydrogel superior property such as robust stretchability and potential self-healing ability. Nanoclay of laponite is a common used synthetic hectorite clay for preparing high performance nanocomposite hydrogel. Furthermore, hydrogels need to be designed and manufactured into definite structure with high resolution to adapt their applications. 3D printing is a widely used manufacturing technology for designed 3D structure of hydrogel system in recent years.

This manufacturing method is convenient and low cost which has been

applied in biomedical field, actuators, electronic device and so on.19-21 The self-healing hydrogel with nanoclay severing as a physical crosslinker offers great potential for these hydrogels with 3D printability. We hypothesize that the hydrogel based on nanoclay, NIPAM and CNTs possess excellent mechanical property, good conductivity and potential self-healing and 4

adhesive ability. Among them, nanoclay severed as physical crosslinker for hydrogel network formation and the electrostatic interaction between the nanoclay might be helpful for self-healing and adhesive property of hydrogel. The PNIPAM polymer provides a thermo-responsiveness of the hydrogels, and the incorporation of CNTs could enhance the hydrogel’s mechanical property and endow decent conductivity for the hydrogel network. We also assumed that the obtained hydrogel could be manufactured into definite structure by 3D printing or injecting, and it could meet various figurate needs by this processing method. Here, we prepared a series of conductive, stretchable and self-healing adhesive hydrogels by using nanoclay laponite, N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and we further demonstrated their 3D printability and sensing application for human motion monitoring. The preparation of hydrogel was polymerized with NIPAM, laponite and (poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly (propylene glycol)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PF127))/CNTs. The characterization (including chemical composition and morphology), swelling behavior, static and dynamic mechanical property, pressure dependent conductivity, photothermal behavior, adhesive property and 3D injectable performance of the hydrogels were systematically studied and discussed. The nanocomposite hydrogel displayed macroporous morphology structure with interconnected network of CNTs in the matrix. Besides, the hydrogels showed rapid thermal and NIR-light responsive behavior in a few minutes. Tensile stress-strain test and cyclic compression recovery test suggested their decent stretchability and desirable, stable recovery property. In 5

Second, as prepared hydrogels were used to perform the strain amplitude sweep test (γ=0.01%-1000%) under certain frequency of 10 rad/s at 25 oC. Third, hydrogel disk was carried out at a certain angular frequency (10 rad/s) at 25 oC with a size of 20 mm in diameter and 1000 µm in thickness for alternate step strain sweep test. Amplitude oscillatory strains were switched from small strain (γ=1.0%) to subsequent large strain (γ=400%) with 100 s for every strain interval.29 2.14 Adhesive strength of the hydrogels.

Followed by observing the cell viability an inverted fluorescence microscope (IX53, Olympus) after the samples were washed with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for three times. Alamar blue® assay (Molecular Probes) test was performed to investigate the quantitative proliferation of L929 cells for 3 days cultivation. The L929 cells were incubated in medium containing 10% (v/v) Alamar Blue dye at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 4 h. Then, 100 μL medium of each group was read by a SpectraMax fluorescence microplate reader (Molecular Devices). The TCP group was used as a control group. 2.17 Statistical analysis. The data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The Student-t test was chosen for statistical significance evaluation, and it was considered to be significant when p 0.05), which meant that the cells adhesion was not negatively affect. Moreover, the cells numbers were closed in TCP group and hydrogel groups after 2 days cultivation. Furthermore, the cell number for PNIPAM/L/CNT hydrogels was higher than 90% of that on TCP after 3 days cultivation. Taken dived/dead test and Alamar blue test results together, good cytocompatibility of these nanocomposite hydrogels was confirmed in vitro.
