Abstract

Abstract : Elastic hydrogels have recently attracted remarkable attention because of their unique mechanical and stimulus‐responsive properties. In article1800051, A. Ping Zhang and co‐workers present a micropatterned elastic gold‐nanowire/polyacrylamide composite hydrogel for wearable sensor applications. The hydrogel can be directly printed on electrodes to fabricate low‐cost high‐performance pressure sensors and has a wide variety of promising applications ranging from wearable healthcare devices to soft robots.
