Abstract

The field of materials science has witnessed remarkable developments in recent years, particularly in the realm of flexible, durable materials. Among these advancements, polyacrylamide hydrogels have garnered significant attention for their potential applications in soft-conducting and sensing technologies. This mini-article explores the importance of developing such materials, highlighting their unique properties and the various ways they are revolutionizing the landscape of soft electronics and sensors. The article draws upon a wide range of references to provide a comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving field.
