Bioinspired hydrogels have promising applications in wearable devices, human health monitoring equipment, and soft robots due to their multifunctional sensing properties which resemble natural skin. In this paper, the researchers designed a bioinspired hydrogel with multiple conductive capabilities by incorporating carbon nanotubes into a chelate of calcium ions with polyacrylic acid and sodium alginate. This bioinspired hydrogel consolidates self-healing ability, stretchability, 3D printability, and multiple conductivities.
