A flexible and wearable electronic system based on 2D hydrogel composites

Abstract

Flexible electronics is a rapidly developing field of study that integrates many other fields, including materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, and electrical engineering. Despite its vast potential, the widespread utilization of flexible electronics remains hindered by several constraints, encompassing elevated Young’s modulus, inadequate biocompatibility, and diminished responsiveness. Thus, a palpable need exists for innovative materials to surmount these hurdles and catalyze its practical implementation. Among these materials, hydrogels are particularly promising due to their three-dimensional crosslinked hydrated polymer networks and exceptional properties, positioning them as a leading candidate for the future of flexible electronics.
