In this review, we discuss (i) the introduction of hydrogel and its traditional applications, (ii) the work principles of hydrogel in bioelectronics, (iii) the recent advances in hydrogel bioelectronics for health monitoring, and (iv) the outlook for future hydrogel bioelectronics' development....
Hydrogel bioelectronics that can interface biological tissues and flexible electronics is at the core of the growing field of healthcare monitoring, smart drug systems, and wearable and implantable devices. Here, a simple strategy is demonstrated to prototype all‐hydrogel bioelectronics with embedded ...
Hydrogel bioelectronics for fine nerves (<300 µm) remains elusive. We envision that a combination of bio-adhesive conducting hydrogels and cuff electrodes can construct robust neural interfaces for fine nerves. In this approach, cuff electrodes, with diameters much larger than nerves, can be ...
The outlook and challenges of wearable self-powered hydrogel bioelectronics are proposed. Abstract The current wearable devices are largely rigid and bulky, which calls for the development of next-generation soft biocompatible technologies. Another limitation is that conventional wearable devices are generall...
The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself—in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for bioelectronics such as pacemakers, biosensors, and drug delivery devices, on the other hand, are rigid...
