Nanocellulose based conductive hydrogel for flexible electronic applications

​Developing a nanocellulose-based conductive hydrogel for flexible electronic applications. Using nanocellulose would enhance the hydrogels mechanical properties as well as ables the growth of metal nanoparticles in an ordered structure with controlled size and morphology.
