Abstract
Flexible electronic technology plays a crucial role in fields such as health monitoring and rehabilitation, the Internet of Things (IoT), and soft robotics. Over the past two decades, research in this field has mainly focused on developing non-breathable, moisture-proof, and liquid-impermeable flexible electronic devices based on thin-film materials and structures. Recent studies have shown that breathability is of vital importance to the long-term biocompatibility of such flexible devices, especially those intended for long-term attachment to the surface of skin and soft tissues.
This presentation will discuss our recent research progress in the development of breathable flexible electronic skin based on liquid metals, with a primary focus on wearable, skin-adhered, and implantable application scenarios. Specifically, we will systematically cover the following aspects: (1) How to fabricate stretchable and breathable electronic devices using liquid metal material platforms; (2) How to address interface mismatch issues; (3) How to achieve high-precision patterning to construct functional stretchable and breathable electronic devices and systems; (4) How to integrate these components into three-dimensional (3D) breathable electronic skin integrated circuits.
Finally, several application examples will be presented in this report.
