The conductive polymer poly(3,4-thylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)exhibits po-tential in the development of flexible devices due to its unique conjugated structure and water-solubility characteristics.To address the incompressibility of the original PEDOT:PSS aerogel without compromis-ing its high conductivity,a stable interpenetrating polymer network(IPN)was self-assembled by guiding the molecular motion within PEDOT:PSS and introducing multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs).By combining critical surface removal,directional freeze-drying,and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)reinforce-ment processes,a hydrophobic PDMS@MWCNTs/PP aerogel with a highly oriented porous structure and high strength was prepared.Under the synergistic effect of MWCNTs/PEDOT:PSS electroactive scaffold,the composite aerogel exhibited a high sensitivity of up to 16.603 kPa-1 at 0-2 kPa,a fast response time of 74 ms,and excellent repeatability.Moreover,the sensor possessed hydrophobicity with a good water contact angle of 137° The sensor could serve as a wearable electronic monitoring device to achieve ac-curate and sensitive detection of human motion including large-scale human activities and tiny muscle movements.Therefore,our findings provide a new direction to fabricate high-performance piezoresistive sensors based on three-dimensional(3D)conductive polymer active scaffolds,demonstrating their great potential for flexible electronics,human-computer interaction,and a wide range of applications under special working conditions.
