Abstract:Conductive self-healing injectable hydrogels, as a novel class of hydrogel materials, exhibit excellent flexibility, extensibility, self-healing properties, injectability, biocompatibility, and electrical conductivity. They have demonstrated significant application potential in the biomedical field and have emerged as crucial functional materials for nerve repair. This article reviews the research progress of conductive self-healing injectable hydrogels in the field of nerve regeneration and repair. It systematically categorizes and summarizes the preparation methods of various types of conductive materials, including polymer-based conductive self-healing injectable hydrogels, carbon nanomaterial-based conductive self-healing injectable hydrogels, and ion-conductive self-healing injectable hydrogels. Furthermore, it thoroughly explores the opportunities and challenges faced by these hydrogels in applications related to nerve regeneration and repair. Finally, the research on conductive self-healing injectable hydrogels in the field of nerve repair is summarized and prospected, and it is pointed out that developing multifunctional nerve repair hydrogels is the main future development trend.
