• The design and fabrication of conductive hydrogels with high stretchability, compressibility, self-healing properties and good adhesion remains a significant challenge. We have fabricated composite hydrogels by random polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA) in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The π-π interaction between DA and MWCNTs makes MWCNTs stably and homogenously dispersed in water. The fabricated PAA-PDA/CNT composite hydrogels possess relatively high mechanical strength (maximum Young’s modulus: 800 kPa) and can be stretched to 1280% strain and compressed to 80% strain. The multiple hydrogen bonding formed between functional groups of PAA-PDA and MWCNTs can effectively dissipate energy and quickly achieve self-healing. The composite hydrogels also show good adhesion and can easily adhere to various inorganic or organic surfaces. In addition, the hydrogel reveals stable strain sensitivity and can be used as skin sensors.
