Bioinspired Microtexturing for Enhanced Sweat Adhesion in Ion-Selective Membranes.

ABSTRACT: Advancements in health wearable technology hold the potential to prevent critical health issues such as hyponatremia and other hydration-related conditions often triggered by intense physical activities. Approaches to address this issue include the development of thin-film wearable sensors incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which offer scalability, lightweight design, and exceptional electrical properties. CNT paper serves as an ideal substrate for electrochemical sensors like ion-selective membranes (ISMs), enabling effective on-skin electrolyte monitoring. However, current on-skin devices often face limitations in maintaining performance during human motion. This study introduces a bioinspired surface texturing technique that mimics the microstructures of rose petals to enhance wetta
