Data reliability and robustness can be realised by building sensor arrays that collect comprehensive biological parameter data from several points on the underlying organs simultaneously, a principle that is inspired by bioreceptors. The rapid growth of soft lithography and printing, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and weaving/knitting technologies has facilitated the low-cost development of soft sensors in the array format. Advances in data acquisition, processing, and visualisation techniques have helped with the collection of meaningful data using arrays and their presentation to users on personal devices through wireless communication interfaces. Local- or cloud-based data storage helps with the collection of adequate data from sensor arrays over time to facilitate reliable prognoses based on historical data. Emerging energy harvesting technologies have led to the development of techniques to power sensor arrays sustainably. This review presents developmental building blocks in wearable and artificial organ-based soft sensor arrays, including bioreceptor-inspired sensing mechanisms, fabrication methods, digital data-acquisition techniques, methods to present the results to users, power systems, and target diseases/conditions for treatment or monitoring. Finally, we summarise the challenges associated with the development of single and multimodal array sensors for advanced digital healthcare and suggest possible solutions to overcome them.","PeriodicalId":74837,"journal":{"name":"Soft science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44321621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mimicking human skin, e-skin sensing devices can be employed in various scenarios. Among the most important sensing elements for tactile e-skin sensors are pressure and temperature sensors, which have increasingly garnered research interest over the past few decades. However, the design and fabrication of advanced pressure and temperature sensors can be challenging owing to complications such as signal interference, complex mechanism integration, and structural design issues. This review provides an overview of flexible pressure and temperature sensors used in e-skin, covering four main perspectives: material selection, mechanism integration, structural design, and manufacturing methods. The materials of different elements in the entire sensing system are comprehensively discussed, along with single and compound mechanisms of pressure and temperature sensing. Pressure and temperature sensors are divided into two types based on their electric output signals, which are exemplified in detail. The manufacturing methods used to fabricate these sensors, including printing methods, are outlined. Lastly, a summary of the future challenges faced by flexible pressure and temperature sensors used in e-skin is presented.","PeriodicalId":74837,"journal":{"name":"Soft science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45454468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with conventional wearable sensors based on rigid electronic materials, the wearable sensors based on soft nanocomposites are advantageous to long-term and high-quality biosignal recordings. Materials used for the synthesis of the nanocomposites, especially nanofillers, are critical for determining the quality of recorded biosignals and the performance of the nanocomposites. In this review, we focus on recent advances in soft conductive nanocomposites, mainly on their electrical and mechanical properties according to the types of nanofillers, and present their applications to wearable biosignal recording devices. We have classified the nanofillers into four categories: carbon-based nanomaterials, conducting polymers, metal-based nanomaterials, and liquid metals. We then introduce the applications of nanocomposites as wearable sensors that record various biosignals, including electrophysiological, strain, pressure, and biochemical information.
