Background:

Hydrogels offer flexibility and biocompatibility for bioelectronics and biomedical devices.
Conventional hydrogels suffer from poor mechanical robustness and environmental instability (dehydration, swelling, contamination).

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review strategies for enhancing hydrogel stability.
To analyze mechanisms, benefits, drawbacks, and applications of these stabilization techniques.

Main Methods:

Literature review of hydrogel stabilization strategies.
Analysis of structural optimization and material incorporation techniques.
Critical evaluation of hydrogel properties: mechanical robustness, self-healing, water retention, freeze resistance, anti-swelling, and antimicrobial activity.

Main Results:

Various strategies improve hydrogel mechanical strength, self-healing, water retention, freeze resistance, anti-swelling, and antimicrobial properties.
These enhancements address limitations of conventional hydrogels for practical applications.

Conclusions:

Hydrogel stability can be significantly improved through targeted design and material modification.
Enhanced hydrogels hold great promise for advanced biomedical and bioelectronic applications.
