Smart conductive nanocomposite hydrogel containing green synthesized nanosilver for use in an eco-friendly strain sensor

Eco-friendly smart nanocomposite hydrogels were developed in this study. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using extracted sugarcane leaves were incorporated into hydrogel-based polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, glycerol, and borax. Different concentrations of silver nitrate at 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 mM were used to obtain AgNPs (AgNPs-5, AgNPs-10, AgNPs-20, AgNPs-30, and AgNPs-50, respectively). The presence of glycerol...
