Abstract
Liquid metal, as a novel material, has become ideal for the fabrication of flexible conductive fibers and has shown great potential in the field of biomedical sensing. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the unique properties of liquid metals such as gallium-based alloys, including their excellent electrical conductivity, mobility, and biocompatibility. These properties make liquid metals ideal for the fabrication of flexible and malleable biosensors. The article explores common preparation methods for liquid metal conductive fibers, such as internal liquid metal filling, surface printing with liquid metal, and liquid metal coating techniques, and their applications in health monitoring, neural interfaces, and wearable devices. By summarizing and analyzing the current research, this paper aims to reveal the current status and challenges of liquid metal conductive fibers in the field of biosensors and to look forward to their development in the future, which will provide valuable references and insights for researchers in the field of biomedical engineering.

期刊介绍:
Biosensors (ISSN 2079-6374) provides an advanced forum for studies related to the science and technology of biosensors and biosensing. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation or experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary electronic material.
