Abstract
), remarkable adhesion, wide working range (-60 °C to 60 °C), and fast self-healing properties. In contrast to conventional hydrogels, this one-pot synthesis eliminates the need for metallic nanofillers, lowering cytotoxicity. In addition, PAm in combination with CNCs also provides biocompatibility, whereas sodium chloride makes the organohydrogel ionically conductive and sensitive. The engineered sensor exhibits enhanced efficiency, durability, and sensitivity and can be employed in haptic sensing technology.
