Hydrogel-based flexible electronics

Nanowerk  April 11, 2023 Although flexible electronics is an emerging field of research involving multiple disciplines, the broad applications of flexible electronics are still restricted due to several limitations, including high Young’s modulus, poor biocompatibility, and poor responsiveness. An international team of researchers (China, Singapore) reviewed the latest methods of synthesizing advanced functional hydrogels and the state-of-art applications of hydrogel-based flexible electronics. Hydrogel is a class of 3D crosslinked hydrated polymer networks, and its exceptional material properties render it as a promising candidate for the next generation of flexible electronics. They discussed the correlation between properties of the hydrogel and […]
