Stimuli-responsive biomaterials have attracted significant attention for the construction of on-demand drug release systems. The possibility using external stimulation to trigger is particularly enticing hydrophobic compounds, which are not easily released by simple diffusion. In this work, an electrochemically active hydrogel, has been prepared gelling a mixture poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and alginate (Alg), loaded with curcumin (CUR), wide spectrum...
Conducting polymer hydrogels have been prepared using PEDOT:PSS and partially replacing PSS dopant by alginate. The selected hydrogel, which is self-healable re-utilizable, has used as pressure sensor with good spatial resolution.
Solid Oxide Cells are highly efficient energy conversion devices for power generation, in fuel cell mode, and storage, electrolysis mode. This multi-layer ceramic device is currently fabricated with state-of-the-art manufacturing processes such as tape casting screen-printing. Alternatively, 3D printing technologies stereolithography or robocasting have demonstrated their potential to fabricate enhanced electrochemical cells by employing an additive approach able create complex shapes,...
Multifunctional hydrogels are a class of materials offering new opportunities for interfacing living organisms with machines due to their mechanical compliance, biocompatibility, and capacity be triggered by external stimuli. Here, we report dual magnetic- electric-stimuli-responsive hydrogel the disassembled reassembled up three times through reversible cross-links. This allows its use as an electronic device (e.g., temperature sensor) in cross-linked state spatiotemporal control narrow...
Abstract One limitation of wearable electronics, and at the same time a challenge, is lack energy storage devices with multiple functionalities produced using clean environmental‐friendly strategies. Here, multifunctional conductive hydrogel containing poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) alginate fabricated, to be used as electrodes in supercapacitors, by applying water‐mediated self‐assembly polymerization processes room temperature. The interpenetration both polymers allows...
