Natural biomass hydrogels for smart sensing. (IMAGE)
Caption
Natural biomass hydrogels can be engineered into intelligent sensing platforms by tuning their crosslinking networks and stimuli-responsive behavior. As illustrated, these soft, water-rich materials can respond to mechanical strain, temperature, humidity, biological signals, and other external stimuli, enabling applications in stress-strain sensors, biosensors, temperature sensors, and broader smart monitoring systems. The review highlights how component design and crosslinking engineering help connect hydrogel structure with sensing performance.
