Hetero-self-healing: Inspired by the human skin, 

a wholly self-healing e-skin device is designed by the monolithic combination of a dermis-like hydrogel for 

conductivity and an epidermis-like thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer for protection. 

Hydrogen-bond-mediated self-healing between two heterogeneous materials of elastomer and 

hydrogel, which we refer to as “hetero-self-healing”, based on the simple assembly of a 

hydrogel‒elastomer hybrid forms a seamless interface with strong adhesion.
