Abstract
Gel-based materials have garnered significant interest in recent years, primarily due to their remarkable structural flexibility, ease of modulation, and cost-effective synthesis methodologies. Specifically, polymer-based conductive gels, characterized by their unique conjugated structures incorporating both localized sigma and pi bonds, have emerged as materials of choice for a wide range of applications. These gels demonstrate an exceptional integration of solid and liquid phases within a three-dimensional matrix, further enhanced by the incorporation of conductive nanofillers. This unique composition endows them with a versatility that finds application across a diverse array of fields, including wearable energy devices, health monitoring systems, robotics, and devices designed for interactive human-body integration. The multifunctional nature of gel materials is evidenced by their inherent stretchability, self-healing capabilities, and conductivity (both ionic and electrical), alongside their multidimensional properties. However, the integration of these multidimensional properties into a single gel material, tailored to meet specific mechanical and chemical requirements across various applications, presents a significant challenge. This review aims to shed light on the current advancements in gel materials, with a particular focus on their application in various devices. Additionally, it critically assesses the limitations inherent in current material design strategies and proposes potential avenues for future research, particularly in the realm of conductive gels for energy applications.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The development of gels capable to adapt and act at the interface of rough surfaces is a central topic in modern science for Cultural Heritage preservation. To overcome the limitations of solvents or polymer solutions, commonly used in the restoration practice, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) "twin-chain" polymer networks (TC-PNs) have been recently proposed. The properties of this new class of gels, that are the most performing gels available for Cultural Heritage preservation, are mostly unexplored. This paper investigates how chemical modifications affect gels' structure and their rheological behavior, producing new gelled systems with enhanced and tunable properties for challenging applications, not restricted to Cultural Heritage preservation. EXPERIMENTS In this study, the PVA-TC-PNs structural and functional properties were changed by functionalization with sebacic acid into a new class of TC-PNs. Functionalization affects the porosity and nanostructure of the network, changing its uptake/release of fluids and favoring the uptake of organic solvents with various polarity, a crucial feature to boost the versatility of TC-PNs in practical applications. FINDINGS The functionalized gels exhibited unprecedented performances during the cleaning of contemporary paintings from the Peggy Gugghenheim collection (Venice), whose restoration with traditional solvents and swabs would be difficult to avoid possible disfigurements to the painted layers. These results candidate the functionalized TC-PNs as a new, highly promising class of gels in art preservation.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels integrate the conductive performance and soft nature, which is like that of human skin. Thus, they are more suitable for the preparation of wearable human-motion sensors. Nevertheless, the integration of outstanding multiple functionalities, such as stretchability, toughness, biocompatibility, self-healing, adhesion, strain sensitivity, and durability, by a simple way is still a huge challenge. Herein, we have developed a multifunctional chitosan/oxidized hyaluronic acid/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/poly(acrylic acid)/tannic acid/Al3+ hydrogel (CS/OHA/HPMC/PAA/TA/Al3+) by using a two-step method with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), acrylic acid (AA), tannic acid (TA), chitosan (CS), oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA), and aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3·6H2O). Due to the synergistic effect of dynamic imine bonds between CS and OHA, dynamic metal coordination bonds between Al3+ and -COOH and/or TA as well as reversible hydrogen, the hydrogel showed excellent tensile property (elongation at break of 3168%) and desirable toughness (0.79 MJ/m3). The mechanical self-healing efficiency can reach 95.5% at 30 min, and the conductivity can recover in 5.2 s at room temperature without stimulation. The favorable attribute of high transparency (98.5% transmittance) facilitates the transmission of the optical signal and enables visualization of the sensor. It also shows good adhesiveness to various materials and is easy to peel off without residue. The resistance of the hydrogel-based sensors shows good electrical conductivity (2.33 S m-1), good durability, high sensing sensitivity (GF value of 4.12 under 1600% strain), low detection limit (less than 1%), and short response/recovery time (0.54/0.31 s). It adhered to human skin and monitored human movements such as the bending movements of joints, swallowing, and speaking successfully. Therefore, the obtained multifunctional conductive hydrogel has great potential applications in wearable strain sensors.

Abstract
With the growing demand for wearable electronics, designing biocompatible hydrogels that combine self-repairability, wide operating temperature and precise sensing ability offers a promising scheme. Herein, by interpenetrating naturally derived carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel matrix, a novel hydrogel is successfully developed via simple coordination with calcium chloride (CaCl2). The chelation of CMC and Ca2+ is applied as a second crosslinking mechanism to stabilize the hydrogel at relatively high temperature (95 °C). In particular, it has unique heat-induced healing behavior and unexpected tunable stiffness & transparency. Like the sea cucumber, the gel can transform between a stiffened state and a relaxed state (nearly 23 times modulated stiffness from 453 to 20 kPa) which originates from the reconstruction of the crystallites. The adjustable transparency enables the hydrogel to become an excellent information hiding material. Due to the presence of Ca2+, the hydrogels show favorable conductivity, anti-freezing and long-term stability. Based on the advantages, a self-powered sensor, where chemical energy is converted to electrical energy, is assembled for human motion detection. The low-cost, environmentally friendly strategy, at the same time, complies to the "green" chemistry concept with the full employment of the biopolymers. Therefore, the proposed hydrogel is deemed to find potential use in wearable sensors.

Abstract
The application of stretchable strain sensors in human movement recognition, health monitoring, and soft robotics has attracted wide attention. Compared with traditional electronic conductors, stretchable ionic hydrogels are more attractive to organization-like soft electronic devices yet suffer poor sensitivity due to limited ion conduction modulation caused by their intrinsic soft chain network. This paper proposes a strategy to modulate ion transport behavior by geometry-induced strain concentration to adjust and improve the sensitivity of ionic hydrogel-based strain sensors (IHSS). Inspired by the phenomenon of vehicles slowing down and changing lanes when the road narrows, the strain redistribution of ionic hydrogel is optimized by structural and mechanical parameters to produce a strain-induced resistance boost. As a result, the gauge factor of the IHSS is continuously tunable from 1.31 to 9.21 in the strain range of 0-100%, which breaks through the theoretical limit of homogeneous strain-distributed ionic hydrogels and ensures a linear electromechanical response simultaneously. Overall, this study offers a universal route to modulate the ion transport behavior of ionic hydrogels mechanically, resulting in a tunable sensitivity for IHSS to better serve different application scenarios, such as health monitoring and human-machine interface.

Abstract
Nature-derived or biologically encouraged hydrogels have attracted considerable interest in numerous biomedical applications owing to their multidimensional utility and effectiveness. The internal architecture of a hydrogel network, the chemistry of the raw materials involved, interaction across the interface of counter ions, and the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) govern the clinical efficacy of the designed hydrogels. This review focuses on the mechanistic viewpoint of different biologically driven/inspired biomacromolecules that encourages the architectural development of hydrogel networks. In addition, the advantage of hydrogels by mimicking the ECM and the significance of the raw material selection as an indicator of bioinertness is deeply elaborated in the review. Furthermore, the article reviews and describes the application of polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymer-based multimodal hydrogels inspired by or derived from nature in different biomedical areas. The review discusses the challenges and opportunities in biomaterials along with future prospects in terms of their applications in biodevices or functional components for human health issues. This review provides information on the strategy and inspiration from nature that can be used to develop a link between multimodal hydrogels as the main frame and its utility in biomedical applications as the primary target.

Abstract
Human-machine interactions, medical monitoring, and flexible robots stimulate interest in hydrogel sensing devices. However, developing hydrogel sensors with multifunctions such as good mechanics, electroconductivity, resistance to solvent volatility as well as freezing, self-adhesion, and independence on external power supply remains a challenge. In the work, a poly(acrylic acid-N-isopropylacrylamide) P(AA-NIPAm) organic hydrogel loading LiCl is prepared by ultraviolet cross-linking in ethylene glycol/H2O. The organic hydrogel exhibits favorable mechanical properties such as an elongation of break at 700% and a breaking strength of 20 KPa, can adhere to various substrates, and resists frost and solvent volatility. Especially, it possesses an excellent conductivity of 8.51 S/m. The organic hydrogel shows wide strain sensitivity based on resistance change, and the gauge factor reaches 5.84 in the range of 300-700%. It has short responsive and recuperative time and is still stable within 1000 rounds. Moreover, the organic hydrogel is also assembled into a self-powered device in which the open-circuit voltage is 0.74 V. The device can transform external stimuli such as stretching or compressing into the output current change, so it detects human motion effectively in real time. The work provides a perspective for electrical sensing engineering.

Abstract
Starch with active hydroxyl groups is one of the most attractive carbohydrates for the preparation of gels in recent years. However, the mechanical properties, self-healing properties, self-adhesion properties, especially low-temperature resistance are generally unsatisfactory for current starch-based gels. Based on that, a multiple network structure of amylopectin-carboxymethyl cellulose-polyacrylamide (ACP) gel was prepared by a "cooking" method. Tannic acid (TA) was used to construct multiple hydrogen bonds among molecular chains. ACP gel demonstrates high elongation at break (1090 %) and strength, self-healing performance and adhesion behavior, extraordinary low-temperature resistance (-80 °C) and self-extinguishing. As a sensor device, ACP gel can effectively monitor human movements and microscopic expression changes and achieve real-time monitoring under harsh conditions (After multiple cutting-healing steps, under low-temperature conditions, even a month later). Additionally, ACP gel could be served to detect temperature changes with a wide operating range and a high sensitivity of 33 %·°C-1, which is promising to monitor the changes in temperature. More interestingly, ACP gel can even monitor the cooking process and breathing frequency with fast response, implying applications in food processing, disease diagnosis and medical treatment. This study provides new opportunities for the design and fabrication of carbohydrate-based gels with multiple performance and multifunctional electronic devices.

Abstract
Cellulose-based functional gels have received considerable attention because of their good mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and low cost. However, the preparation of cellulose gels with self-adhesion, mechanical robustness, ionic conductivity, anti-freezing ability, and environmental stability remains a challenge. Here, gallic acid esterified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC-GA) was obtained by grafting gallic acid (GA) onto the macromolecular chains of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through a one-step esterification method. Then the prepared MCC-GA was dissolved in Lithium chloride/dimethyl sulfoxide (LiCl/DMSO) system and polymerized with acrylic acid (AA) to prepare a multi-functional cellulose-based organogel. The prepared MCC-GA/polyacrylic acid (PAA) organogels exhibited enhanced interfacial adhesion through hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, and electrostatic interactions. Additionally, the MCC-GA/PAA organogels could withstand 95 % of the compressive deformation and rapidly self-recover owing to chemical cross-linking and dynamic non-covalent interactions. The organogels also exhibited excellent anti-freezing properties (up to -80 °C), solvent retention, and ionic conductivity. Considering its excellent overall performance, the MCC-GA/PAA organogel was used as an effective flexible sensor for human motion detection and is expected to play an important role in the future development of flexible bioelectronics.

[PMID: 36975673 PMCID: PMC10048269 DOI: 10.3390/gels9030224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
With the progress of science and technology, intelligent wearable devices have become more and more popular in our daily life. Hydrogels are widely used in flexible sensors due to their good tensile and electrical conductivity. However, traditional water-based hydrogels are limited by shortcomings of water retention and frost resistance if they are used as the application materials of flexible sensors. In this study, the composite hydrogels formed by polyacrylamide (PAM) and TEMPO-Oxidized Cellulose Nanofibers (TOCNs) are immersed in LiCl/CaCl2/GI solvent to form double network (DN) hydrogel with better mechanical properties. The method of solvent replacement give the hydrogel good water retention and frost resistance, and the weight retention rate of the hydrogel was 80.5% after 15 days. The organic hydrogels still have good electrical and mechanical properties after 10 months, and can work normally at −20 °C, and has excellent transparency. The organic hydrogel show satisfactory sensitivity to tensile deformation, which has great potential in the field of strain sensors.

Abstract
Recently, ionic conductive hydrogels have attracted extensive attention in the field of flexible pressure sensors due to their mechanical flexibility and high conductivity. However, the trade-off between the high electrical and mechanical properties of ionic conductive hydrogels and the loss of mechanical and electrical properties of traditional high water content hydrogels at low temperature are still the main hurdles in this area. Herein, a rigid Ca-rich silkworm excrement cellulose (SECCa) extracted from silkworm breeding waste was prepared. SEC-Ca was combined with the flexible hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) molecules through hydrogen bonding and double ionic bonds of Zn2+ and Ca2+ to obtain the physical network SEC@HPMC-(Zn2+/Ca2+). Then, the covalently cross-linked network of polyacrylamide (PAAM) and the physical network were cross-linked by hydrogen bonding to obtain the physical-chemical double cross-linked hydrogel (SEC@HPMC-(Zn2+/Ca2+)/PAAM). The hydrogel showed excellent compression properties (95 %, 4.08 MPa), high ionic conductivity (4.63 S/m at 25 °C) and excellent frost resistance (possessing ionic conductivity of 1.20 S/m at -70 °C). Notably, the hydrogel can monitor pressure changes in a wide temperature range (-60-25 °C) with high sensitivity, stability and durability. This newly fabricated hydrogel-based pressure sensors can be deemed of great prospects for large-scale application of pressure detection at ultra-low temperatures.

Abstract
A hydrogel strain sensor can successfully transform its deformation into resistance changes, offering novel options for the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI). However, it remains challenging to prepare hydrogel sensors with superior performance (e.g., high conductivity). Here, we produced a conductive hydrogel (named PPC hydrogel) utilizing only three components, PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)), PAAS (polyacrylate sodium), and CaCl2, through freezing cross-linking and ion chelation. The PPC hydrogel is endowed with high electrical conductivity of approximately 5.2 S/m without the addition of highly conductive materials due to the unique ionic cluster mesh structure, thus enabling an outstanding performance of strain sensing. The PPC hydrogel also maintains electrical conductivity in frozen and underwater conditions and resists swelling in underwater environments, allowing it to be used under water for extended periods of time (more than 15 days). The PPC hydrogel-based strain sensor can be used as a flexible electrode for electrocardiogram (ECG) and electromyogram (EMG) examinations and sensitively monitor human activity as well as recognize handwriting. Moreover, we designed a python-based visualization program combined with a PPC hydrogel array to implement pressure-sensing digital image mapping for remote IoT monitoring. As a flexible sensor for biosafety, the PPC hydrogel has potential applications in the field of intelligent sensing, the IoT, and even Internet of Body systems.

Abstract
Recently, flexible wearable and implantable electronic devices have attracted enormous interest in biomedical applications. However, current bioelectronic systems have not solved the problem of mechanical mismatch of tissue-electrode interfaces. Therefore, the biomimetic hydrogel with tissue-like mechanical properties is highly desirable for flexible electronic devices. Herein, we propose a strategy to fabricate a biomimetic hydrogel with strain-stiffening property via regional chain entanglements. The strain-stiffening property of the biomimetic hydrogel is realized by embedding highly swollen poly(acrylate sodium) microgels to act as the microregions of dense entanglement in the soft polyacrylamide matrix. In addition, poly(acrylate sodium) microgels can release Na+ ions, endowing hydrogel with electrical signals to serve as strain sensors for detecting different human movements. The resultant sensors own a low Young's modulus (22.61-112.45 kPa), high nominal tensile strength (0.99 MPa), and high sensitivity with a gauge factor up to 6.77 at strain of 300%. Based on its simple manufacture process, well mechanical matching suitability, and high sensitivity, the as-prepared sensor might have great potential for a wide range of large-scale applications such as wearable and implantable electronic devices.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels have attracted tremendous attention as a novel generation of wearable devices and body monitoring due to their great stretchability and high flexibility. Here, a multifunctional cellulose nanocrystal @sodium lignosulfonate-silver-poly(acrylamide) nanocomposite hydrogel was prepared by radical polymerization within only a few minutes. This polymerization rapidly occurred by lignosulfonate-silver (Ls-Ag) dynamic catalysis that efficiently activated ammonium persulfate (APS) to initiate the free-radical polymerization. In particular, the hydrogel exhibited excellent tensile strength (406 kPa), ultrahigh stretchability (1880 %), self-recovery, and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, due to the inclusion of Ls-Ag metal ion nanocomposite in the hydrogels, the composite hydrogel presented repeated adhesion to various objects, excellent conductivity (σ ∼ 9.5 mS cm-1), remarkable UV resistance (100 % shielding of the UV spectral region), and high antibacterial activity (above 98 %), which enabled the hydrogel to be applied to epidermal sensors. In addition, the high-sensitivity (gauge factor of 2.46) sensor constructed of the hydrogel monitored the large and subtle movements of the human body and was used as a biological electrode to collect human electromyography and electrocardiographic signals. This work provided a novel strategy for the high-value utilization of lignin, which had potential application prospects in many fields such as wearable bioelectrodes.

Abstract
The rapid development of flexible electronic devices has caused a boom in researching flexible sensors based on hydrogels, but most of the flexible sensors can only work at room temperature, and they are difficult to adapt to extremely cold or dry environments. Here, the flexible hydrogel fibers (PEDOT:PSS@PVA) with excellent resistance to extreme environments have been prepared by adding glycerin (GL) to the mixture of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly 3,4-dioxyethylene thiophene:polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS) because GL molecules can form dynamic hydrogen bonds with an elastic matrix of PVA molecules. It is found that the prepared sensor exhibits very good flexibility and mechanical strength, and the ultimate tensile strength can reach up to 13.76 MPa when the elongation at break is 519.9%. Furthermore, the hydrogel fibers possess excellent water retention performance and low-temperature resistance. After being placed in the atmospheric environment for 1 year, the sensor still shows good flexibility. At a low temperature of -60 °C, the sensor can stably endure 1000 repeated stretches and shrinks (10% elongation). In addition to the response to a large strain, this fiber sensor can also detect extremely small strains as low as 0.01%. It is proved that complex human movements such as knuckle bending, vocalization, pulse, and others can be monitored perfectly by this fiber sensor. The above results mean that the PEDOT:PSS@PVA fiber sensor has great application prospects in physiological monitoring.

Synthesis and Assessment of AMPS-Based Copolymers Prepared via Electron-Beam Irradiation for Ionic Conductive Hydrogels. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14132547.

Abstract
In this study, ionic conductive hydrogels were prepared with 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). Acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AAm), and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) were used as comonomers to complement the adhesion properties and ion conductivity of AMPS hydrogels. Hydrogels were prepared by irradiating a 20 kGy dose of E-beam to the aqueous monomer solution. With the E-beam irradiation, the polymer chain growth and network formation simultaneously proceeded to form a three-dimensional network. The preferred reaction was determined by the type of comonomer, and the structure of the hydrogel was changed accordingly. When AA or AAm was used as a comonomer, polymer growth and crosslinking proceeded together, so a hydrogel with increased peel strength and tensile strength could be prepared. In particular, in the case of AA, it was possible to prepare a hydrogel with improved adhesion without sacrificing ionic conductivity. When the molar ratio of AA to AMPS was 3.18, the 90° peel strength of AMPS hydrogel increased from 171 to 428 gf/25 mm, and ionic conductivity slightly decreased, from 0.93 to 0.84 S/m. By copolymerisation with HEA, polymer growth was preferred compared with chain crosslinking, and a hydrogel with lower peel strength, swelling ratio, and ionic conductivity than the pristine AMPS hydrogel was obtained.

Abstract
Frequent dressing changes can result in secondary wound damage. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a wound dressing that can be used for a long time without changing. Here, a double-network hydrogel was synthesized through hydrogen bonding interactions of tea polyphenol (TP)/glycerol with photo-crosslinked N-acryloyl glycinamide (NAGA), gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), and nanoclay hydrogel. The glycerol/water solvent slowed the diffusion of TP into the NAGA/GelMA/Laponite (NGL)hydrogel, thereby avoiding excessive crosslinking, and forming a uniform network. The hydrogel exhibited excellent water retention (84% within 28 days). Additionally, due to the hygroscopicity of glycerol, the hydrogel's mechanical strength (0.73-1.14 MPa) and tensile strain (207%-353%) increased further after 14 days in an open environment. Additionally, the hydrogel exhibited superior anti-ultraviolet and antioxidant properties, which effectively alleviated the wound site's oxidative stress and accelerated wound healing. Moreover, antibacterial activity was observed against both E. coli and S. aureus in the hydrogel wound dressing. Thus, by promoting wound closure, angiogenesis and collagen deposition, the double-network NGLG20/TG hydrogel dressing can successfully accelerate wound healing. The multifunctional double-network hydrogel, therefore, shows immense potential as an ideal candidate for wound dressings because it is long-lasting and prevents secondary damage caused by frequent dressing changes.

Abstract
Multiple stretchable materials have been successively developed and applied to wearable devices, soft robotics, and tissue engineering. Organohydrogels are currently being widely studied and formed by dispersing immiscible hydrophilic/hydrophobic polymer networks or only hydrophilic polymer networks in an organic/water solvent system. In particular, they can not only inherit and carry forward the merits of hydrogels, but also have some unique advantageous features, such as anti-freezing and water retention abilities, solvent resistance, adjustable surface wettability, and shape memory effect, which are conducive to the wide environmental adaptability and intelligent applications. This review first summarizes the structure, preparation strategy, and unique advantages of the reported organohydrogels. Furthermore, organohydrogels can be optimized for electro-mechanical properties or endowed with various functionalities by adding or modifying various functional components owing to their modifiability. Correspondingly, different optimization strategies, mechanisms, and advanced developments are described in detail, mainly involving the mechanical properties, conductivity, adhesion, self-healing properties, and antibacterial properties of organohydrogels. Moreover, the applications of organohydrogels in flexible sensors, energy storage devices, nanogenerators, and biomedicine have been summarized, confirming their unlimited potential in future development. Finally, the existing challenges and future prospects of organohydrogels are provided.

Abstract
Biodegradable electronics are considered as an important bio-friendly solution for electronic waste (e-waste) management, sustainable development, and emerging implantable devices. Elastic electronics with higher imitative mechanical characteristics of human tissues, have become crucial for human-related applications. The convergence of biodegradability and elasticity has emerged a new paradigm of next-generation electronics especially for wearable and implantable electronics. The corresponding biodegradable elastic materials are recognized as a key to drive this field toward the practical applications. The review first clarifies the relevant concepts including biodegradable and elastic electronics along with their general design principles. Subsequently, the crucial mechanisms of the degradation in polymeric materials are discussed in depth. The diverse types of biodegradable elastomers and gels for electronics are then summarized. Their molecular design, modification, processing, and device fabrication especially the structure-properties relationship as well as recent advanced are reviewed in detail. Finally, the current challenges and the future directions are proposed. The critical insights of biodegradability and elastic characteristics in the elastomers and gel allows them to be tailored and designed more effectively for electronic applications.

Abstract
In the present work, a multiple-stimuli-responsive hydrogel has been synthesized via polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) and N-hydroxy methyl acrylamide (HMAm) on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The synthesized hydrogel β-CD-g-(pAAm/pHMAm) exhibited various striking features like ultrahigh stretchability (>6000%), flexibility, stab resistivity, self-recoverability, electroresponsiveness, pressure-responsiveness, adhesiveness, and high transparency (>90%). Besides, the hydrogel has demonstrated enhanced biocompatibility, UV resistance, and thermoresponsive shape memory behaviors. On the basis of these attractive characteristics of the hydrogel, a flexible pressure sensor for the real-time monitoring of human motion with superior biocompatibility and transparency was fabricated. Moreover, due to the nanofibrillar surface morphology of the β-CD-g-(pAAm/pHMAm) hydrogel, the sensor based on the gel exhibited high sensitivity (0.053 kPa-1 for 0-3.3 kPa). The flexible sensor demonstrates very fast response time (130 ms-210 ms) with adequate stability (5000 cycles). Interestingly, the sensor can rapidly sense both robust (index finger and wrist) motions as well as tiny (swallowing and phonation) physiological actions. In addition, this adhesive hydrogel patch also acts as a potential carrier for the sustained topical release of (∼80.8% in 48 h) the antibiotic drug gentamicin sulfate.

Abstract
Recently, versatile hydrogels with multifunctionality have been widely developed with emerging applications as wearable and implantable devices. In this work, we reported novel versatile hydrogels by self-catalyzing the gelation of an interpenetrating polymer network consisting of acrylic acid (AA) monomers and GA-modified collagen (GCOL) in situ decorated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The resultant hydrogel, namely AgNP@GCOL/PAA, has many desirable features, including good mechanical properties (such as 123 kPa, 916%, and 1961 J m-2 for the fracture stress, strain and tearing energy) that match with those of animal skin, excellent self-healing performance, favorable conductivity and strain sensitivity as a flexible biosensor, and excellent antibacterial and anti-UV properties, as well as the strong adhesiveness on skin. Moreover, AgNP@GCOL/PAA showed excellent biocompatibility via in vitro cell culture. Remarkably, AgNP@GCOL/PAA displayed superior hemostatic properties with sharply decreasing blood loss for a mouse liver incision, closely related to its strong self-adhesion which produced anchoring strength to the bleeding site and thus formed a network barrier with liver tissue. This study provides new opportunities for the facile preparation of widely used multifunctional collagen-based hydrogels based on a simple pyrogallol-Ag system.

Nanocellulose-enhanced organohydrogel with high-strength, conductivity, and anti-freezing properties for wearable strain sensors. Carbohydr Polym 2022; 277:118872.

Abstract
The use of ion-conductive hydrogels in strain sensors with high mechanical properties, conductivity, and anti-freezing properties is challenging. Here, high-strength, transparent, conductive, and anti-freezing organohydrogels were fabricated through the radical polymerization of polyacrylamide (PAM)/sodium alginate (SA)/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs) in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/water solution, followed by soaking in a CaCl2 solution. The resulting organohydrogels demonstrated a high strength (tensile strength of 1.04 MPa), stretchability (681%), transparency (>84% transmittance), and ionic conductivity (1.25 S m-1). The organohydrogel-based strain sensor showed a high strain sensitivity (GF = 2.1). In addition, due to a synergistic effect between the DMSO/H2O binary solvent and CaCl2, the organohydrogel remained flexible (could bend 180°) and conductive (1.01 S m-1) at -20 °C. Interestingly, the TOCNs exerted a reinforcing effect on both the mechanical properties and ionic conductivity. This research provides a novel strategy to prepare ion-conductive organohydrogels with good mechanical properties, conductivity, and anti-freezing properties for use as flexible electronic materials.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based wearable sensors have gained great interest on account of their huge application in human-machine interfaces, electronic skin, and healthcare monitoring. However, there are still challenges in designing hydrogel-based sensors with high stability in a wide temperature range, superior adhesion, and excellent sensitivity. Herein, sensors based on oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)/polyacrylamide (PAm)/polydopamine-Ti3C2TX (PMXene) /glycerol/water (Gly/H2O) organohydrogels were designed. The organohydrogels exhibited excellent mechanical properties (elongation at break of 1037%, tensile strength of 0.17 MPa), predominant self-healing ability (self-healing efficiency of 91%), as well as high sensing stability in a wide temperature range (from -20 to 60°C). The introduction of PDA (polydopamine) and viscous glycerin (Gly) provide organohydrogels with superior adhesion. Organohydrogels sensors demonstrated high sensitivity (Gauge Factor, GF = 2.2) due to the combination of ionic and electron conduction. Sensors could stably detect human movement under different strain levels at high and low temperatures, providing a new solution for wearable sensors in extreme conditions.

Abstract
In the past decade, wearable biosensors have radically changed our outlook on contemporary medical healthcare monitoring systems. These smart, multiplexed devices allow us to quantify dynamic biological signals in real time through highly sensitive, miniaturized sensing platforms, thereby decentralizing the concept of regular clinical check-ups and diagnosis towards more versatile, remote, and personalized healthcare monitoring. This paradigm shift in healthcare delivery can be attributed to the development of nanomaterials and improvements made to non-invasive biosignal detection systems alongside integrated approaches for multifaceted data acquisition and interpretation. The discovery of new biomarkers and the use of bioaffinity recognition elements like aptamers and peptide arrays combined with the use of newly developed, flexible, and conductive materials that interact with skin surfaces has led to the widespread application of biosensors in the biomedical field. This review focuses on the recent advances made in wearable technology for remote healthcare monitoring. It classifies their development and application in terms of electrochemical, mechanical, and optical modes of transduction and type of material used and discusses the shortcomings accompanying their large-scale fabrication and commercialization. A brief note on the most widely used materials and their improvements in wearable sensor development is outlined along with instructions for the future of medical wearables.

Abstract
In recent years, conductive hydrogels have generated tremendous attention in biomedicals and bioelectronics fields due to their excellent physiochemical properties. In this study, a physically cross-linked conducting hydrogel has been designed in combination with cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC), polyacrylic acid (PAA) chains, laurel methacrylate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The obtained result shows that the hydrogel prepared is ultrastretchable, mechanically robust, transparent, biocompatible, conductive, and self-healing. The mechanical property of the prepared hydrogel is optimized through variation of the CNC content. The optimal hydrogel (CNC-1/PAA) exhibits an impressive mechanics, including high stretchability (∼1800%) and compressibility, good elasticity, and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, the conductivity of the hydrogel enables tensile strain- and pressure-sensing capabilities. The CNC/PAA-based flexible sensors are successfully designed, which shows high sensitivity, fast response (290 ms), and excellent cycle stability as well as the pressure sensing capability. As a result, the designed hydrogel has the ability to sense and detect diverse human motion, including elbow/finger/wrist bending and speaking, which demonstrates that the designed self-healing conductive hydrogels have significant potential for applications in flexible electronics.

Abstract
Skin-like electronics are developing rapidly to realize a variety of applications such as wearable sensing and soft robotics. Hydrogels, as soft biomaterials, have been studied intensively for skin-like electronic utilities due to their unique features such as softness, wetness, biocompatibility and ionic sensing capability. These features could potentially blur the gap between soft biological systems and hard artificial machines. However, the development of skin-like hydrogel devices is still in its infancy and faces challenges including limited functionality, low ambient stability, poor surface adhesion, and relatively high power consumption (as ionic sensors). This review aims to summarize current development of skin-inspired hydrogel devices to address these challenges. We first conduct an overview of hydrogels and existing strategies to increase their toughness and conductivity. Next, we describe current approaches to leverage hydrogel devices with advanced merits including anti-dehydration, anti-freezing, and adhesion. Thereafter, we highlight state-of-the-art skin-like hydrogel devices for applications including wearable electronics, soft robotics, and energy harvesting. Finally, we conclude and outline the future trends.

Abstract
In the past two decades, ionic conductive hydrogel has attracted tremendous research interests for their intrinsic characteristics in the field of flexible sensor. However, synchronous achievement of high mechanical strength, satisfied ionic conductivity, and broad adhesion to various substrates is still a challenge. Herein, a novel zwitterionic composite hydrogel that displayed excited strechability (up to 900%), satisfied strength (about 30 kPa), high ionic conductivity (1.2 mS cm-1 ), and adhesion to polar and nonpolar materials is fabricated though the combination of waterborne polyurethanes (PU) and poly(sulfobetaine zwitterion-co-acrylamide) (SAm). Especially, this facile strategy demonstrates that PU has a synergistic effect on enhancing mechanical strength and ionic conductivity for ionic conductive hydrogel. Moreover, the hydrogel-based strain/stress sensor shows high sensitivity, wide sensing range, great stability, and accuracy for human body movements detecting and voice recognition. This novel ionic conductive hydrogel has promoted the development of wearable devices.

Abstract
Development and understanding of antifreezing materials are fundamentally and practically important for materials design and delivery. However, almost all of antifreezing materials are either organic/icephobic materials containing no water or hydrophilic hydrogels containing antifreezing additives. Here, a general crosslinking strategy to fabricate a family of EGINA-crosslinked double-network hydrogels with intrinsic, built-in antifreezing and mechanical properties, but without any antifreezing additives is proposed and demonstrated. The resultant hydrogels, despite large structural and compositional variations of hydrophilies, electrolytes, zwitterions, and macromolecules of polymer chains, achieved strong antifreezing and mechanical properties in different environments including solution state, gel state, and hydrogel/solid interfaces. Such general antifreezing property of EGINA-crosslinked hydrogels, regardless network compositions, is likely stemmed from their highly hydrophilic and tightly crosslinked DN structures for inducing strong water-network bindings to prevent ice crystal formation from free waters in hydrogel networks. EGINA-crosslinked hydrogels can also serve as a key component to be fabricated into smart windows with high optical transmittance and supercapacitors with excellent electrochemical stability at subzero temperatures. This work provides a simple, blueprint antifreezing design concept and a family of antifreezing hydrogels for the better understanding of the composite-structure-property relationship of antifreezing materials and the fundamentals of confined water in wet soft materials.

Abstract
"Green" solvent-dissolved cellulose enables functional reuse of waste cotton fabrics. This work will not only achieve high-value utilization of biomass but also overcome microplastic pollution. There is a significant challenge in the continuous meter-scale synthesis of sensing fibers for commercial applications with high productivity. Herein, waste cellulose fabrics was recycled by the NaOH/urea system to produce regenerated cellulose (RC) and then cornlike polyaniline (PANI) was anchored on the RC fibers by in situ polymerization of aniline through continuous meter-scale wet-spinning. In our findings, the morphologies and possible growth of PANI layers on the RC surface can be tailored by various ammonium persulfate (APS) contents in a coagulation bath. Especially, composite fibers (PC0.5) exhibited superior electrical conductivity and highly sensitive responsiveness to organic vapors and human motions including exhalation/inhalation, finger, and wrist joints. Further, the possible sensing mechanism of cornlike PC0.5 has been proposed, and its GF value is 23.8. This study realized the conversion from cheap waste fibers to high-value conductive fibers with excellent performances for multifunctional wearable sensors and energy devices via a simple and "green" method.

Abstract
We report on robust silk fibroin (SF) gels fabricated by incorporating cellulose nanocrystals (SF/CNC) as a "tough" unit and photopolymerization of acrylamide as an "elastic" segment. The addition of CNC affects the refolding process of SF molecules controlled by nucleation via templating, resulting in a stable mesoscopic structure. The gel shows robust mechanical stability (88.8% of initial stress after 1000 compression cycles) and excellent adhesion to various materials. The connected gel can recover its ionic conductivity within 20 s and be stretched to a maximum strain of 498% after healing for 10 h with an efficiency of 95.2%. This multifunctional gel sensor can sensitively detect different toxic gases and small-scale and large-scale human motions in real-time. Its sensitivity is calculated as GF = 3.84 at 0-200% strain. Especially, the gel with 5 wt % thermochromic pigments as a visual temperature indicator can quickly reflect abnormal human body temperature according to the color change. Therefore, the strategy shows potential applications in flexible electrodes, biomimetic sensors, and visual biosensors.

Abstract
Transparent, conductive hydrogels with good mechanical strength and toughness are in great demand of the fields of biomedical and future wearable smart electronics. We reported a carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)-calcium chloride (CaCl2)/polyacrylamide (PAAm)/poly(N-methylol acrylamide (PNMA) transparent, tough and conductive hydrogel containing a bi-physical crosslinking network through in situ free radical polymerization. It showed excellent light transmittance (>90%), excellent toughness (10.72 MJ/m3), good tensile strength (at break, 2.65 MPa), breaking strain (707%), and high elastic modulus (0.30 MPa). The strain sensing performance is found with high sensitivity (maximum gauge factor 9.18, 0.5% detection limit), wide strain response range, fast response and recovery time, nearly zero hysteresis and good repeatability. This study extends the transparent, tough, conductive hydrogels to provide body-surface wearable devices that can accurately and repeatedly monitor the movement of body joints, including the movements of wrists, elbows and knee joints. This study provided a broad development potential for tough, transparent and conductive hydrogels as body-surface intelligent health monitoring systems and implantable soft electronics.

Abstract
Recently, flexible and wearable sensors assembled from conductive hydrogels have attracted widespread attention. However, it is still a great challenge to make hydrogels with sufficient mechanical properties, self-adhesiveness and strain sensitivity. Here, a strong, tough, and self-adhesive hydrogel is successfully fabricated by a one-pot method, which introducing chitosan and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid into the polyacrylamide network. The hydrogels exhibited adhesion (the peel strength reaches 798 N/m), mechanical property (The breaking strength and strain can reach 111 kPa and 2839%) and electrical conductivity (conductivity up to 0.0848 S/cm), which are suitable for wearable epidermal sensors. Besides, the hydrogels also possessed transparency. Therefore, this work would provide a novel insight on the fabrication of multi-functional self-adhesive hydrogel sensors.

Abstract
Antifreezing gels are promising in diverse engineering applications such as structural soft matters, sensors, and wearable devices. However, the capability of fast self-healing and reversible adhesiveness still remain a huge challenge for gels at extreme temperatures. Here, we proposed a solvent-involved cross-linking system composed of polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, borax, ethylene glycol, and water, capable of antifreezing below -90 °C. It was not only antifreezing, anticrystalline, and abundant in dynamic bonds but also highly transparent, stretchable (over 800%), and conductive over the scope of temperature from -60 to 60 °C. Moreover, this gel could self-heal within 1 min and repeatedly adhere to multiple substrates including glass, metal, and rubber with an adhesive strength greater than 18 kPa. These key functions of the gel could be mostly preserved after 5 days of storage at 70% relative humidity. It is anticipated that our research opens a new scope for high-performance extreme environment-tolerant adhesives or wearable devices.

Abstract
Artificial transistors represent an ideal means for meeting the requirements in interfacing with biological systems. It is pivotal to develop new proton-conductive materials for the transduction between biochemical events and electronic signals. Herein, the first demonstration of a porous organic polymer membrane (POPM) as a proton-conductive material for protonic field-effect transistors is presented. The POPM is readily prepared through a thiourea-formation condensation reaction. Under hydrated conditions and at room temperature, the POPM delivers a proton mobility of 5.7 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 ; the charge carrier densities are successfully modulated from 4.3 × 1017 to 14.1 × 1017 cm-3 by the gate voltage. This study provides a type of promising modular proton-conductive materials for bioelectronics application.

Abstract
With growing interest in flexible and wearable devices, the demand for nature-inspired soft smart materials, especially intelligent hydrogels with multiple perceptions toward external strain and temperatures to mimic the human skin, is on the rise. However, simultaneous achievement of intelligent hydrogels with skin-compatible performances, including good transparency, appropriate mechanical properties, autonomous self-healing ability, multiple mechanical/thermoresponsiveness, and retaining flexibility at subzero temperatures, is still challenging and thus limits their application as skinlike devices. Here, conductive nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels) were delicately designed and prepared via gelation of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA)-based monomers in a glycerol-water cosolvent, where inorganic clay served as the physical cross-linker and provided conductive ions. The resultant NC gels exhibited good conductivity (∼3.32 × 10-4 S cm-1, akin to biological muscle tissue) and an autonomously self-healing capacity (healing efficiency reached 84.8%). Additionally, such NC gels displayed excellent flexibility and responded well to multiple strain/temperature external stimuli and subtle human motions in a wide temperature range (from -20 to 45 °C). These distinguished properties would endow such NC gels significant applications in fields of biosensors, human-machine interfaces, and soft robotics.
