However, the formation of a conductive network by micro\/nano-conductive materials on textiles necessitates high-temperature sintering, which inevitably causes substrate aging and component damage. Herein, a bis-hydroxy-imidazolium chloride salt as a hard segment to synthesize a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) adhesive is designed and prepared. When used in nano-silver-based printing coatings, it offers strong adherence for coatings, reaching 16 N cm\u22121; on the other hand, the introduction of chloride ions enables low-temperature (60 \u00b0C) chemical sintering to address the challenge of secondary treatment and high-temperature sintering (&gt;150 \u00b0C). Printed into flexible circuits, the resistivity can be controlled by the content of imidazolium salts anchored in the molecular chain of the WPU from a maximum resistivity of 3.1 \u00d7 107 down to 5.8 \u00d7 10\u22125 \u03a9 m, and it can conduct a Bluetooth-type finger pulse detector with such low resistivity. As a flexible circuit, it also offers high stability against washing and adhesion, which the resistivity only reduces less than 20% after washing 10 times and adhesion. Owing to the adjustability of the resistivity, we fabricated an all-textile flexible pressure sensor that accurately differentiates different external pressures (min. 10 g, ~29 Pa), recognizes forms, and detects joint motions (finger bending and wrist flexion).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16040540","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]],"date-time":"2024-02-20T04:36:22Z","timestamp":1708403782000},"page":"540","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Novel Conductive AgNP-Based Adhesive Based on Novel Poly (Ionic Liquid)-Based Waterborne Polyurethane Chloride Salts for E-Textiles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9482-9271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiyang","family":"Liao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"},{"name":"China Textile Academy (Zhejiang) Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., Shaoxing 312071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yeqi","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiemin","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongjin","family":"Kuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaolong","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guixin","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Textile Academy (Zhejiang) Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., Shaoxing 312071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofei","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pu","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Hunan University of Technology, Zhuzhou 412007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10839","DOI":"10.1038\/ncomms10839","article-title":"Screen-printed flexible MRI receive coils","volume":"7","author":"Corea","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
