RI-IWEAR Research Seminar XIV

Topic: Carbon Nanotube-based Epidermal Electronic Systems

By Dr Youfan HU 

Epidermal systems that offer conformal contact with biological surfaces for physiological information capture is of great interest in various applications toward advanced forms of monitoring, diagnosis and therapy. In general, an intimate interface is required between the electronic system and the biological tissue to guarantee a stable signal recording with high fidelity. Here we show several examples of our recent progress to construct such epidermal systems based on carbon nanotubes for physiological information monitoring from human body surface, which integrate flexible sensors, carbon nanotube based circuits and memory, demonstrating a great possibility of next-generation wearables for personal health care.
