topics (OpenAlex): Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials; Electrowetting and Microfluidic Technologies; Hydrogels: synthesis, properties, applications
TL;DR: It is shown it is possible to interface hydrogel with liquid metal (eutectic gallium indium, EGaIn) electrodes to create completely soft and deformable electrodes that provide low resistance traces through the gel without altering its mechanical properties. (via Semantic Scholar)
