Nanoscale Materials and Deformable Device Designs for Bioinspired and Biointegrated Electronics

Conspectus Electronic devices whose structural and functional features are inspired by living creatures have unique performance and unconventional features that are not found in conventional electronic devices. In addition to such bioinspired electronics, with the rise of new fields such as personalized healthcare, mobile electronics, and big-data analysis, biointegrated electronic devices that can collect biomedical information from the human body through various biosensors and deliver appropriate therapeutic feedback stimulations in real time on the spot where immediate treatment is needed have become important. Because body parts and internal organs of living creatures, including humans, have curvilinear shapes and comprise mechanically soft tissues, such bioinspired and biointegrated electronic devices are required to match the soft and deformable features of biological tissues. Such…
