Flexible Alginate Hydrogels: Enabling On-Tissue Writable Bioelectronics
Author(s): Bo Jiang*
This study introduces a novel approach utilizing flexible alginate hydrogels as a platform for on-tissue writable bioelectronics. Alginate hydrogels
possess several advantageous properties, such as biocompatibility, mechanical flexibility, and the ability to conduct and adhere to various tissue
surfaces. Leveraging these characteristics, we developed a conductive and adhesive granular alginate hydrogel system that allows seamless
integration with biological tissues. The granular alginate hydrogels were engineered by incorporating conductive nanoparticles into the alginate
matrix, enabling electrical conductivity while maintaining the hydrogel's flexibility. The adhesive properties were achieved through the introduction
of specific functional groups that promote strong adhesion to tissue surfaces. This unique combination of conductivity and adhesion facilitates the .. Read More»
