A review on the features, performance and potential applications of hydrogel-based wearable strain/pressure sensors

Over the past few years, development of wearable devices has gained increasing momentum. Notably, the demand for stretchable strain sensors has significantly increased due to many potential and emerging applications such as human motion monitoring, prosthetics, robotic systems, and touch panels. Recently, hydrogels have been developed to overcome the drawbacks of the elastomer-based wearable strain sensors, caused by insufficient...
