Anisotropic hydrogels with high-sensitivity and self-adhesion for wearable sensors
Wentang Wang, Xinyue Deng, Chunhui Luo
Abstract
Inspired by muscle structures, an anisotropic hydrogel was prepared to display both high sensitivity (GF = 62.2 near 100% strain) and self-adhesion (adhesion strength = 77.2 kPa), showing great potential in wearable sensors.
