There is ongoing research for biomedical applications of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based hydrogels; however, the execution this has not yet been achieved at an appropriate level commercialization. Advanced perception necessary design and synthesis suitable materials, such as PVA-based hydrogel applications. Among polymers, drawn great interest in owing to their attractive potential with characteristics good biocompatibility, mechanical strength, apposite water content. By designing approach investigating structure, hydrogels can attain superb cytocompatibility, flexibility, antimicrobial activities, signifying that it a candidate tissue engineering regenerative medicine, drug delivery, wound dressing, contact lenses, other fields. In review, we highlight current progresses on explaining diverse usage across variety areas. We explain numerous techniques related phenomena based these materials. This review may stipulate wide reference future acumens materials extensive

Abstract As skin bioelectronics advances, hydrogel wearable devices have broadened perspectives in environment sensing and health monitoring. However, their application is severely hampered by poor mechanical self‐healing properties, environmental sensitivity, limited sensory functions. Herein, inspired the hierarchical structure unique cross‐linking mechanism of hagfish slime, a self‐powered supramolecular hereby reported, featuring high stretchability (>2800% strain), ultrafast autonomous capabilities (electrical healing time: 0.3 s), self‐adhesiveness (adhesion strength: 6.92 kPa), injectability, ease shaping, antimicrobial biocompatibility. It observed that embedding with highly hygroscopic salt LiCl hydrogel, not only showed excellent electrical conductivity but also presented favorable anti‐freezing water retention properties extremely cold environments natural settings. Given these attributes, served as multifunctional durable device sensitivity (gauge factor: 3.68), fast response time (160 ms), low detection limit, frequency sensitivity. Moreover, applicability this further demonstrated long‐term sensing, remote medical communication, underwater communication. Overall, findings pave way for sustainable development hydrogel‐based are self‐powered, durable, offer performance, adaptability, multi‐sensory capabilities.
