Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Conducting polymer hydrogels are crucial for soft bioelectronics due to their biocompatibility and electrical properties.
  • A key challenge is balancing conductivity and mechanical stretchability, as increasing one often decreases the other.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a conducting polymer hydrogel with simultaneously high electrical conductivity and mechanical stretchability.
  • To create a hydrogel suitable for robust tissue-device integration and high-quality physiological signal recording.

Main Methods:

  • A densified double-network hydrogel was synthesized by concentrating a poorly crosslinked precursor with a high conducting polymer content.
  • A surface grafting method was employed to create an adhesive layer for tissue bonding.
  • The hydrogel's performance was evaluated using in vivo rat models for signal recording and electrical stimulation.

Main Results:

  • The developed hydrogel achieved high electrical conductivity (≈10 S cm⁻¹) and a large fracture strain (≈150%).
  • The material demonstrated high biocompatibility, tissue-like softness, and a low swelling ratio.
  • The hydrogel enabled high-quality physiological signal recording and reliable, low-voltage electrical stimulation in vivo.

Conclusions:

  • The novel densified double-network conducting polymer hydrogel effectively overcomes the conductivity-stretchability trade-off.
  • The adhesive properties facilitate rapid and reliable tissue-device integration.
  • This approach offers a promising strategy for advanced bioelectronic applications requiring high-quality electrical communication with tissues.
