2024 | Kusuma Betha Cahaya Imani, Jagan Mohan Dodda, Jinhwan Yoon, Fernando G. Torres, Abu Bin Imran, G. Roshan Deen, and Renad Al-Ansari
The article "Seamless Integration of Conducting Hydrogels in Daily Life: From Preparation to Wearable Application" by Kusuma Betha Cahaya Imani et al. reviews the recent progress in the preparation and fabrication of conductive hydrogels (CHs) for smart wearable devices. CHs are highly sought after due to their softness, flexibility, and high conductivity, making them suitable for skin-contact electronics and biomedical applications. The review covers the synthesis of conducting polymers (CPs) and non-CP-based CHs, including their properties and fabrication methods. It discusses the improvement of mechanical, electrical, and functional properties of CHs to enhance the performance of wearable devices. The article also highlights innovative and highly functional devices based on CHs that can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, such as soft robotics, human-machine interfaces, and health monitoring systems. The preparation methods, including in situ polymerization, post-polymerization/coating, and the use of conducting fillers, are detailed, along with advanced fabrication techniques like 3D printing, microfluidic spinning, and electrospinning. The review emphasizes the potential of CHs as versatile and functional material platforms for wearable devices, addressing challenges and opportunities in their development and integration.The article "Seamless Integration of Conducting Hydrogels in Daily Life: From Preparation to Wearable Application" by Kusuma Betha Cahaya Imani et al. reviews the recent progress in the preparation and fabrication of conductive hydrogels (CHs) for smart wearable devices.
