3D printable and myoelectrically sensitive hydrogel for smart prosthetic hand control by Jinxin Lai, Longya Xiao, Beichen Zhu, Longhan Xie, Hongjie Jiang

“…In this study, we developed myoelectrically sensitive hydrogels via 3D printing and integrated them into a stretchable, flexible, and high-density sEMG electrodes array. This electrode array offered a series of excellent human-machine interface (HMI) features, including conformal adherence to the skin, high electron-to-ion conductivity (and thus lower contact impedance), and sustained stability over extended periods. …”
