Resumen:

Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymeric networks with the ability to absorb large amounts of water, swell, and considerably increase their volume. This polymeric structure can be obtained by some versatile methods that can be summarized by physical or chemical cross-linking. These materials have aroused great scientific interest in biomedical applications due to their favorable characteristics such as their ability to store small molecules in their structure and their improved biocompatibility due to the high water content present in their network. Besides, novel properties such as self-healing, conductive, magnetic, hydrophobic, and superhydrophobic have been incorporated into these materials, making them attractive in the biomedical industry, which includes tissue engineering, sensors, human motion drug delivery, and wound dressing. This chapter aims to make a detailed recapitulation and discussion of the most recent advances in the research of hydrogels with some relevant advanced properties, their applications, and the impact that have had on the current times on the development of flexible sensors. © 2024 José García-Torres, Carlos Alemán, and Ram K.
