Ionogels are emerging as soft materials for flexible strain sensors. However, the integration of multiple functionalities into a single ionogel for diverse applications in complex scenarios remains a challenge. In this study, we present a multifunctional nanocomposite ionogel that combines high strength, transparency, stretchability, temperature tolerance, adhesiveness, and 3D printing capabilities. The ionogels are fabricated through a one-step photopolymerization process involving acrylic acid and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid in an ionic liquid, with Al(OH)3 nanoparticles serving as cross-linkers...
