• sensing capabilities of alginate-based nanoparticles have been explored in various studies. One study by Han et al. [121] suggested to use a low-cost and environmentally friendly surface acoustic wave (SAW) humidity sensor made of sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel. The hydroxy and carboxylate groups can
