Abstract
Over the past few years, development of wearable devices has gained increasing momentum. Notably, the demand for stretchable strain sensors has significantly increased due to many potential and emerging applications such as human motion monitoring, prosthetics, robotic systems, and touch panels. Recently, hydrogels have been developed to overcome the drawbacks of the elastomer-based wearable strain sensors, caused by insufficient biocompatibility, brittle mechanical properties, complicated fabrication process, as the hydrogels can provide a combination of various exciting properties such as intrinsic electrical conductivity, suitable mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. There are numerous research works reported in the literature which consider various aspects as preparation approaches, design strategies, properties control, and applications of hydrogel-based strain sensors. This article aims to present a review on this exciting topic with a new insight on the hydrogel-based wearable strain sensors in terms of their features, strain sensory performance, and prospective applications. In this respect, we first briefly review recent advances related to designing the materials and the methods for promoting hydrogels' intrinsic features. Then, strain (both tensile and pressure) sensing performance of prepared hydrogels is critically studied, and alternative approaches for their high-performance sensing are proposed. Subsequently, this review provides several promising applications of hydrogel-based strain sensors, including bioapplications and human-machine interface devices. Finally, challenges and future outlooks of conductive and stretchable hydrogels employed in the wearable strain sensors are discussed.

Abstract
One-dimensional polyaniline nano-materials (1-D nano-PANI) have great promise applications in supercapacitors, sensors and actuators, electrochromic devices, anticorrosive coatings, and other nanometer devices. Consequently, commercial production of 1-D nano-PANI at large-scale needs to be quickly developed to ensure widespread usage of this material. Until now, approaches-including hard template methods, soft template methods, interfacial polymerization, rapid mixing polymerization, dilute polymerization, and electrochemical polymerization-have been reported to be used to preparation of this material. Herein, some important issues dealing with commercial production of 1-D nano-PANI are proposed based on the complexity of the synthetic process, its characters, and the aspects of waste production and treatment in particular. In addition, potential solutions to these important issues are also proposed.

Abstract
Based on hydrogen bonding, the highly uniform polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes were synthesized by self-assembly method using citric acid (CA) as the dopant and the structure-directing agent by optimizing the molar ratio of CA to aniline monomer (Ani). Synthesis conditions like reaction temperature and mechanical stirring were considered to explore the effects of hydrogen bonding on the morphologies. The effects of CA on the final morphology of the products were also investigated. The as-synthesized CA doped polyaniline (PANI) nanomaterials were further deposited on the plate electrodes for the test of gas sensing performance to ammonia (NH₃). The sensitivity to various concentrations of NH₃, the repeatability, and the stability of the sensors were also tested and analyzed. As a result, it was found that the PANI nanomaterial synthesized at the CA/Ani molar ratio of 0.5 has highly uniform tubular morphology and shows the best sensing performance to NH₃. It makes the PANI nanotubes a promising material for high performance gas sensing to NH₃.
