Yet, their potential has been hindered by poor mechanical properties. Herein, a double network (DN) ionogel crafted from 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Emim]Cl), acrylamide (AM), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was constructed. Tensile strength, fracture elongation, and conductivity can be adjusted across a wide range, enabling researchers to fabricate the material to meet specific needs. With adjustable mechanical properties, such as tensile strength (0.06\u20135.30 MPa) and fracture elongation (363\u20131373%), this ionogel possesses both robustness and flexibility. This ionogel exhibits a bi-modal response to temperature and strain, making it an ideal candidate for strain sensor applications. It also functions as a flexible strain sensor that can detect physiological signals in real time, opening doors to personalized health monitoring and disease management. Moreover, these gels\u2019 ability to decode the intricate movements of sign language paves the way for improved communication accessibility for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. This DN ionogel lays the foundation for a future in which e-skins and wearable sensors will seamlessly integrate into our lives, revolutionizing healthcare, human\u2013machine interaction, and beyond.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios14050227","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,3]],"date-time":"2024-05-03T05:52:02Z","timestamp":1714715522000},"page":"227","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Highly Stretchable Double Network Ionogels for Monitoring Physiological Signals and Detecting Sign Language"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ya","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Polymer Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shujing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Polymer Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fengyuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Polymer Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Polymer Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7880-5034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiqiang","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Advanced Functional Polymer Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12287","DOI":"10.1021\/acsnano.9b06576","article-title":"Electronic Skin for Closed-Loop Systems","volume":"13","author":"Wang","year":"2019","journal-title":"ACS Nano"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8368","DOI":"10.1039\/D0TC01057J","article-title":"A facile strategy for fabricating multifunctional ionogel based electronic skin","volume":"8","author":"Sun","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
