dc.description.abstractThis research aims to develop a conductive hydrogel using natural polymers like chitosan, sodium alginate, and methyl 2 hydroxyethyl cellulose to improve biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Enhanced with conductive elements, crosslinkers, and humectants, the hydrogel optimizes conductivity, adhesion, and moisture retention. Characterization techniques, including impedance analysis, viscosity measurement, and infrared spectroscopy, will assess its performance against commercial products. This research strives to create cost effective, environmentally friendly hydrogels aiming to advance biomedical applications and wearable bioelectronics.
