Article Synopsis
- Polysaccharides are natural polymers crucial for creating conductive hydrogels, which are widely used in flexible electronics due to their conductivity and biocompatibility.
- The review discusses various types of polysaccharides like chitosan and cellulose, and categorizes conductive hydrogels into ionic conductive, electronic conductive, and hybrid types.
- Key features of these hydrogels, including their mechanical properties and applications in devices like sensors and wound dressings, are highlighted, alongside challenges and future research directions in the field.
Conductive hydrogels have emerged as ideal candidate materials for strain sensors due to their signal transduction capability and tissue-like flexibility, resembling human tissues. However, due to the presence of water molecules, hydrogels can experience dehydration and low-temperature freezing, which greatly limits the application scope as sensors. In this study, an ionic co-hybrid hydrogel called PBLL is proposed, which utilizes the amphoteric ion betaine hydrochloride (BH) in conjunction with hydrated lithium chloride (LiCl) thereby achieving the function of humidity adaptive.
