Shandong University of Technology · Beijing Forestry University · +3 more institutions
Abstract
Flexible electronics is undergoing a transition from single-function devices to intelligent systems capable of multimodal perception and closed-loop operation. Multifunctional hydrogels have emerged as a core platform for next-generation electronics, owing to their structural tailorability, biomimetic compatibility, dynamic responsiveness, and exceptional interfacial properties. This review outlines a cross-scale design pathway of hydrogel electronics spanning molecular strategies and microstructural architectures to macroscopic functionalities (mechano-electro-thermo-chemical responses) and system-level integration. We critically survey recent advancements in hydrogel-based applications, including wearable…
