Nanomesh Reinforced Eutectogel by Interfacial Engineering for Human Motion Monitoring and Machine Learning‐Enabled Gesture Recognition
Abstract
ABSTRACT Engineering soft conductors that simultaneously offer high strength, extreme stretchability, and environmental stability remains a central challenge for next‐generation wearable electronics. Here, we incorporate an electrospun polyurethane (PU) nanomesh rich in hydrogen bonding sites into a eutectogel matrix. Benefiting from designable interfacial interactions, the thin hybrid gel (≈45 µm) exhibits high tensile strength (12.6 MPa), remarkable stretchability (1376%) and fatigue resistance. Based on its good sensitivity, the hybrid gel can serve as a strain sensor for wide range human motion monitoring, as well as a multifunctional sensor for humidity and temperature detection. Moreover, its high water vapor transmission rate (1176 g·m −2 ·d −1 ) and robust anti‐freezing and anti‐drying properties enable reliable recording of physiological signals such as electromyography (EMG) and electrocardiography (ECG). By coupling the EMG output with a convolutional neural network (CNN), the system attains a high gesture recognition accuracy of 98.7%. This work demonstrates great potential for next‐generation wearable healthcare and human‐machine interfaces.
