Abstract:
Skin is the body’s largest organ, and is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure, pain, and temperature. The development of an electronic material, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous, unrealized engineering challenge. However, the advent of carbon-based electronics may offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem. In this talk, I will describe the design of materials to enable flexible devices to transduce mechanical, temperature and chemical stimuli into electrical signals. Applications of these devices for health monitoring, disease diagnosis and implanted devices will be presented. |
