Superabsorbent materials (SAMs), featuring a three-dimensional (3D) hydrophilic polymer network, can absorb and retain water up to thousands of times their own weight, even under pressure. This makes them indispensable in various fields, including hygiene products agriculture. The absorption capacity SAMs is influenced by the presence groups swellable network structure. To optimize performance, one must adjust types concentrations functional groups. Additionally, changes density regularity are necessary. Significant performance improvements limited inherent challenges modifying chains or networks. enhance researchers focus on manipulating components structure network. Effective retention requires fully expand while maintaining its strength. Incorporating nanoparticles, especially one-dimensional (1D) nanoclays, minimizes chain entanglement prevents collapse during drying. approach effectively addresses above challenges.

Flexible and Multifunctional Biomass‐Based Chlorella Hydrogels for High‐Performance Wearable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 13, 2024

Abstract Biomass‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising soft sensing materials to prepare the flexible biomimetic electronic devices for human health monitoring, due their good stretchability, interfacial adhesion, and biocompatibility. Here, a simple effective freeze‐thaw method is proposed ductile biomass‐based Chlorella wearable capacitive strain sensor devices. Ascribing formation of dynamic physical cross‐linking (hydrogen bonding) between polyvinyl alcohol networks, obtained exhibit considerable conductivity stretchability (tensile > 450%). Moreover, this hydrogel can be used fabricate with sensitivity, remarkable mechanical durability, wide working range, stability. Furthermore, conductive electrolyte paired activated carbon electrodes build sandwich‐style supercapacitor. The all‐solid‐state supercapacitor exhibits excellent cycling performance outstanding Intriguingly, also reveal antibacterial (against E. coli S. aureus ) pH response. These functional features make valuable practical healthcare applications.
