The development of cost-effective, eco-friendly conductive hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties, self-healing capabilities, and non-toxicity holds immense significance in the realm of biosensors. The biosensors demonstrate promising applications in the fields of biomedical engineering and human motion detection. A unique double-network hydrogel was prepared through physical-chemical crosslinking using chitosan (CS), polyacrylic acid (AA), and sodium alginate (SA) as raw materials.

In this paper, polypyrrole titanium dioxide nanocomposite (PPy-TiO) was prepared using in situ polymerization method and dispersed in sodium alginate/polyacrylamide (SA/PAM) hydrogel matrix to prepare SA/PAM/PPy-TiO nanocomposite hydrogels. The nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized by XPS, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, and TEM.
