A wearable conductive hydrogel with triple network reinforcement inspired by bio-fibrous scaffolds for real-time quantitatively sensing compression force exerted on fruit surface

The conductive hydrogel holds promise for applications in smart packaging, wherein it can detect crucial mechanical stress on fruit, convert it into electrical signals, and further transmit these signals to the cloud, thereby enabling the real-time sensing of mechanical forces experienced by fruits and enhancing post-harvest fruit loss management.
