On-skin electronic sensors are demanded for healthcare monitoring such as the continuous recording of biopotential and motion signals from patients. However, the mechanical mismatches and poor interface adhesion at the skin/sensor interfaces always cause high interfacial impedance and artifacts, frequent interfacial failure, and unexpected depletion of the device, which significantly limit the performance of the sensors. We here develop an on-skin sensor based on a conductive pressure-sensitive tape, which is assembled from supramolecular dual-cross-linked hydrogel composites. Both covalent and noncovalent cross-links in the hydrogel networks could harvest high flexibility, pressure-sensitive adhesion, and high interfacial toughness altogether, enabling a convenient "Press-N-Go" application of the sensor on human skin without additional pre/post-treatment on the skin or the senor. The high conformability and low resistivity of the tape can sustainably lower the interfacial impedance and thus improve signal quality in various measurement conditions. Our design provides a feasible path to develop interface-toughened on-skin electronics, which is desired in dynamic human-machine interfaces.
