Researchers have conducted a comprehensive review of conductive hydrogels, exploring their potential in wearable sensors and electrical stimulation applications. These innovative materials combine high water content, tissue-like modulus, and ionic conductivity, making them ideal for seamless integration with biological systems.
'Conductive hydrogels represent a frontier in merging biology with electronics,' explains lead author Yoonsoo Shin from the Institute for Basic Science. Their versatility in adjusting mechanical and electrical properties through conductive fillers like carbon nanomaterials and conducting polymers has revolutionized bioelectronic interfaces.
Professor Dae-Hyeong Kim of @seoulnationaluniversity highlights, 'The ability of conductive hydrogels to adapt to dynamic environments while maintaining robust electrical performance has revolutionized how we think about interfacing electronics with the human body.'
Beyond biosignal monitoring and electrical stimulation, conductive hydrogels' tunable properties enable applications in drug delivery, artificial muscles, and multifunctional platforms. Their biocompatibility and biodegradability ensure minimal immune response and environmental impact.
'Looking ahead, conductive hydrogels are poised to unlock unprecedented possibilities in personalized medicine, robotics, and human-machine interfaces,' says Shin. Researchers envision a future where these materials enable seamless integration of bioelectronics into daily life.
