Nanocellulose have attracted much research interests owing to its biocompatibility, low density, environmental
sustainability, flexibility, ease of surface modification, excellent mechanical properties and ultrahigh surface areas.
Recently, lots of research efforts have focused on nanocellulose-based conductive hydrogels for different practical
applications, including electronic devices, energy storage, sensors, composites, tissue engineering and other biomedical
applications. A wide variety of conductive hydrogels have been developed from nanocellulose, which can be in the form
of cellulose nanofibers (CNF), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) or bacterial cellulose (BC). This review presents the recent
progresses in the development of nanocellulose-based conductive hydrogels, their advanced functions, including 3D
printability, self-healing capacity and high mechanical performances, as well as applications of the conductive
nanocellulose hydrogels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
