Abstract
). Moreover, the hydrogel can adhere to various organic and inorganic materials. It exhibits repeatable self-adhesion to human skin and can be peeled off completely without any residual, irritation or allergic reactions. Additionally, the hydrogel also has good strain sensitivity and exhibits stable output signals in motion monitoring of the human body as a biosensor. Therefore, this work provides a new prospect for the design of multifunctional hydrogels for their potential applications in wearable biosensors.
