Connective tissue inspired elastomer-based hydrogel for artificial skin via radiation-indued penetrating polymerization

Posted by in categories: cyborgs, robotics/AI, transhumanism

Robust hydrogels offer a promising solution for the development of artificial skin for bionic robots, yet few hydrogels have a comprehensive performance comparable to real human skin. Here, the authors present a general method to convert traditional elastomers into tough hydrogels via a unique radiation-induced penetrating polymerization method.
