Conductive and antibacterial dual-network hydrogel for soft bioelectronics

Abstract

for skin), environmental stability, and excellent biocompatibility. Furthermore, the as-prepared hydrogel can serve as a biosensing conductor, showing high-quality recording and monitoring of real-time tiny yet complex muscle movements during speaking and realizing neuromodulation through low-current electronic stimulation (40 μA) of a rat's nerve. Simultaneously, the hydrogel also exhibits the capacity to accelerate wound healing. Therefore, the proposed antibacterial conductive hydrogel is a safer option for next-generation bioelectronic materials in human healthcare.
