| contents | With the increasing demand for personalized health monitoring, wearable sensors have gained attention in medical diagnostics and physiological tracking. Hydrogels, known for their mechanical properties and similarity to biological tissues, are ideal for flexible sensing. However, conventional hydrogels face challenges in stability, biocompatibility, adhesion, and long-term comfort, especially in dynamic conditions.This study presents a highly sensitive, self-adhesive, and biocompatible organohydrogel fabricated via DLP 3D printing. By integrating an entanglement-dominated crosslinking mechanism with chemical and physical crosslinking, the hydrogel achieves high elasticity, mechanical strength, and durability. Methacrylic anhydride-grafted \k{appa}-carrageenan serves as the primary network, with optimized grafting rates enhancing tensile properties and strain modulation. The copolymer network of MA-kappa-CA and ACMO benefits from steric hindrance effects, improving swelling integrity and long-term stability.Experimental results confirm sustained adhesion and structural integrity under prolonged skin exposure, making it suitable for extended wear. The hydrogel exhibits excellent tensile resilience, flexibility, and strain-sensing capabilities. In vitro studies validate its biocompatibility, supporting its biomedical potential. Furthermore, its integration into wearable smart devices demonstrates promise for cervical spine monitoring and sports rehabilitation. A CNN-based system enables real-time, multi-channel analysis of cervical motion, proving its viability as a high-sensitivity flexible sensor for health monitoring and injury prevention.The proposed DLP 3D-printed hydrogel offers significant applications in flexible electronics, wearable sensors, and biomedical technologies, paving the way for next-generation health-monitoring systems. |
