Abstract
Conducting Polymer Hydrogels In article number 2305705, Ji Liu, Baoyang Lu, and co-workers report a strategy to fabricate conducting polymer hydrogels with anisotropic structures and mechanics through a combined freeze-casting and salting-out process. The as-fabricated conducting polymer hydrogels exhibit a high fatigue threshold, low Young's modulus, as well as long-term strain sensing robustness.
