Abstract

Self-healing chitosan elastomers plasticized by natural deep eutectic solvents deliver a pseudo–piezoelectric response, converting pressure into voltage, and maintaining consistent sensing even after damage and repair.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Polymer composites and self-healing Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials Dielectric materials and actuators
