Micro-/nano-structured flexible electronics for biomedical applications

Abstract

Flexible electronics are attracting considerable attention due to their promising performance including conductivity, stain- or pressure-sensing performance, skin-affinity, flexibility, etc. In particular, the structural design has promoted their properties and brought advanced functions, which make them valuable in biomedical applications including health monitoring, therapeutic applications and implantable devices. Herein, a review on the recent progress of flexible electronics with micro-/nano-structures is provided, involving the manufacturing technologies and applications in biomedical fields. Following these two sections, remaining challenges and the perspectives on future directions are also proposed.
