Characterization of GG/GO hybrid hydrogel for strain sensor application

Abstract

Hydrogel materials are 3D polymeric materials that have a wide range of applications. Strain-sensor applications, one of the application areas of hydrogels, continue to attract the attention of researchers. In this study, gellan gum-graphene oxide (GG/GO) hybrid hydrogels were synthesized for strain-sensor application. FTIR, XRD, and SEM measurements and strain sensor application analyses of the synthesized hydrogels were performed. It has been observed that the GG/GO hybrid hydrogels obtained as a result of the findings are promising for strain-sensor applications.
