Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a new type of highly stretchable and compressive conductive hydrogel for use in sensing applications and electronic devices through a cross-linked complex coacervate method.
- The hydrogels combine carboxylated nanogels with branched poly(ethylene imine) and incorporate graphene nanoplatelets for added electrical conductivity and unique mechanical properties.
- By varying the molecular weight of the cross-linker, these gels can achieve impressive metrics such as a compressive strength of 25 MPa and stretchability of 1500%, while also being adhesive, self-healable, and low in cytotoxicity.
