A team of scientists led by Professor Chen Tao from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has completely developed
Wearable underwater sensing technologyindispensable for underwater operations - in the exploration of marine resources, underwater construction, rescue operations and more. To make it more accessible, Chinese scientists have created an ion-conducting gel. They optimized the material that worked maximum in wet conditions, but not under water.
In the course of experiments, scientists showed ionogellong-term stability. Its good hydrophobic properties increased its adhesion in the underwater environment due to the destruction of the hydration layer. Also, scientists have found that the ionogel does not interfere with the operation of equipment, has a wide deformation range and excellent sensitivity and durability. It accurately detects human and aquatic body movements in complex underwater environments, demonstrating the potential for biological research applications.
