  Abstract

Hydrogel fibers that can be raided possess considerable promise in the realm of flexible electronic gadgets, as they exhibit both exceptional durability and excellent conductivity. Using a continuous coaxial wet-spinning method, we have created a hydrogel long fiber with a core-sheath structure that is both strong, conductive, frost-resistant, and braidable. Hydroxymethylpropyl cellulose (HPMC) added lowconcentration polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) toform the core layer of the fiber he sheaths made of highconcentration PVA. Next, the fibers are submerged in a sodium chloride solution to create PVA@PVA-HPMC hydrogel fibers that exhibit remarkable tensile strength (6.7 MPa), extensive elongation (450%), excellent electrical conductivity (9.23 S/m), and exceptional resistance to freezing temperatures (below -20 °C). The hydrogel fibers are further encapsulated using PSPI copolymers to enhance their environmental stability. Finally, the PVA@PVA-HPMC fibers are applied as flexible sensors to detect human joint movements, and assembled into e-textiles to monitor the positional distribution of pressure.
