Hydrogel‐Based Flexible Electronics

Flexible electronics is an emerging field of research involving multiple disciplines, which include but not limited to physics, chemistry, materials science, electronic engineering, and biology. More importantly, the correlation between properties of the hydrogel and device performance is discussed here, to have better understanding of the development of flexible electronics by using environmentally responsive hydrogels.

• 1 However, the broad applications of flexible electronics are still restricted due to several limitations, including high Young's modulus, poor biocompatibility, and poor responsiveness.
• 2 Innovative materials aiming for overcoming these drawbacks and boost its practical application is highly desirable.
• 3 Hydrogel is a class of 3D crosslinked hydrated polymer networks, and its exceptional material properties render it as a promising candidate for the next generation of flexible electronics.

These innovations can translate to real-world improvements in technology, infrastructure, and everyday tools.
