The ionic conductive hydrogel-based sensor exhibits wide applications in wearable electronic devices. However, the strength and ductility trade-off, multimodal requirements, and water-soluble polymer alternatives are significant challenges for the hydrogel-based sensor. Herein, a stretchable and conductive hydrogel is developed with a double network formed by incorporating polyacrylamide and ionic liquid into the konjac glucomannan network. The hydrogel displays significantly enhanced mechanical properties, and good tear/puncture resistance owing to the existence of covalent and non-covalent interactions. In addition, by the introduction of nematic liquid crystal hydroxypropyl cellulose, the hydrogel/cellulose-based strain sensor demonstrates excellent sensing performance in monitoring human motions and writing recognition ability with optical and electrical bimodal sensing response. This work provides new insights to further expand the options of hydrogel-based sensor matrix and to construct bimodal sensors.

In this study, we developed a novel composite catalytic hydrogel, which integrates excellent mechanical properties, catalytic activity, and sensing performance. Discarded hydrogel sensors are reused as templates for in-situ generation of metal nanoparticles, and multifunctional hydrogels combining sensing and catalysis are realized. Polyacrylamide (PAM) provides a three-dimensional network structure, while octadecyl methacrylate (SMA) acts as a hydrophobic association center, enhancing the structural stability of the hydrogel.

Hypoxia, characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation, may result in tissue damage and organ failure if not addressed. Current detection approaches frequently prove insufficient, depending on symptoms and rudimentary metrics such as tissue oxygenation, which fail to comprehensively identify the onset of hypoxia. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) has recognized sweat lactate as a possible marker for the early identification of decubitus ulcers, nevertheless, neither sweat lactate nor oxygenation independently provides an appropriate diagnosis of hypoxia.

The excessive presence of the metal ions Cu and Fe in the environment poses a serious threat to ecosystems and human health, so timely and accurate detection of them has become essential and urgent. In this paper, a novel hydrogel-based fluorescent sensor, named ME-IPA@SA-TbZn, was fabricated facilely through an in-situ cross-linking modification method and was used for the detection of Cu and Fe in water bodies. The ME-IPA@SA-TbZn is essentially a hybrid hydrogel bead that exhibits vibrant fluorescence, employing Tb and Zn functionalized hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) as the fluorescence functional core and sodium alginate (SA) as the hydrogel matrix.

Hydrogel-based flexible electronic components have become the optimal solution to address the rigidity problem of traditional electronics in health management. In this study, a multipurpose hydrogel is introduced, which is formed by combining a dual-network consisting of physical (chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) and chemical (poly(isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM)-co-acrylamide (AM))) cross-linking, along with signal conversion fillers (eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn), TiC MXene, polyaniline (PANI)) for responding to external stimuli. Multiple sensing of dynamic and static signals is permissible for it.
