3D-Printed Flexible Conductive Hydrogel as a Wearable Platform for Dual Functions of Strain and Colorimetric Lactate Sensors.

ABSTRACT: Strain sensors have received considerable attention in personal healthcare due to their ability to monitor real-time human movement. However, the lack of chemical sensing capabilities in existing strain sensors limits their utility for continuous biometric monitoring. Although the development of dual wearable sensors capable of simultaneously monitoring human motion and biometric data presents significant challenges, the ability to fabricate these sensors with geometries tailored to individual users is highly desirable. Herein, we report three-dimensional (3D)-printed flexible conductive hydrogels designed to serve dual functions as both strain and colorimetric sensors for sweat lactate detection. Poly(ethylene glycol)-bisurethane methacrylate with varying molecular weights was synthesized
