Wearable Sensors: Micropatterned Elastic Gold‐Nanowire/Polyacrylamide Composite Hydrogels for Wearable Pressure Sensors (Adv. Mater. Technol. 7/2018)

Abstract

Elastic hydrogels have recently attracted remarkable attention because of their unique mechanical and stimulus-responsive properties. In article 1800051, A. Ping Zhang and co-workers present a micropatterned elastic gold-nanowire/polyacrylamide composite hydrogel for wearable sensor applications. The hydrogel can be directly printed on electrodes to fabricate low-cost high-performance pressure sensors and has a wide variety of promising applications ranging from wearable healthcare devices to soft robots.
