Multi-Responsive Hydrogel Based Flexible Sensors for Plants/Animals Metabolic Stress Analytics

Versatile and non-invasive multiresponsive flexible sensor platforms developed in our research group will be demonstrated in this talk. The sensor platforms are fabricated by contact printing on a composite carbon nanotubes/polyaniline conductive flexible films, embedded with multi-responsive (redox, ionic strength, pH) molecularly imprinted responsive polymer hydrogels, highly selective biomimetric molecular receptors. In this presentation, data highlighting the sensor platforms when applied for dosimetric and real-time monitoring of metabolic stress biomarkers in plants and animals will be discussed. With standout customization and versatility, the flexible wearable sensors are interfaced to Bluetooth, which transmits data wirelessly to a mobile device, demonstrating their utility for autonomous deployment in health/wellness diagnostics and precision agriculture.
