Bioinspired Directional Hydrogel-Based High-Performance Flexible Sensor for Multiple Jumping Pattern Detection in Athletic Training.

ABSTRACT: Conductive hydrogels have garnered significant attention as ideal materials for flexible wearable sensors due to their conductivity, flexibility, adaptability, and biocompatibility. However, traditional conductive hydrogels frequently exhibit poor moisture retention and suboptimal mechanical properties, which greatly limit their practical usability. Inspired by the anisotropic structure of biological tissues and the natural moisturizing factors in skin, a novel bioinspired directional hydrogel (BDH) system is presented, using polyvinyl alcohol as the matrix, incorporating polydopamine-modified carbon nanotubes and PEDOT-PSS as conductive materials, and sodium pyrrolidone carboxylic acid for moisture retention. The precursor solution containing disordered polymer chains undergoes flow-induc
