Revolutionizing Bioelectronic Interfaces with Hydrogels.

Researchers have developed bi-continuous conducting polymer hydrogels (BC-CPH) that can be used in 3D printing for bioelectronic interfaces. The hydrogels are made by mixing an electrical phase and a mechanical phase with an ethanol/water solvent, resulting in high mechanical stability and electrical conductivity. This new technology offers a more biocompatible and robust alternative to metal electrodes for interfacing biological and electrical systems.
