Low‐Hysteresis Cellulose‐Based Hydrogels for Strain Detecting
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Low‐hysteresis hydrogel with high cellulose content is prepared. The modified cellulose is prepared through a sequential periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction process. The hydrogel can be used as a strain sensor with a gauge factor of 1.1 in the 0%–300% sensing range.
