Microelectronic fibers for multiplexed sweat sensing.

ABSTRACT: Wearable bioelectronics are gaining extraordinary attention due to their capabilities to achieve continuous monitoring of human health status. However, mainstream manufacturing technologies, including photolithography and printing technology, limit current wearable bioelectronics on 2D planar structures with little surface area in contact with the body. It thus limits the amount of physiological information that current wearable bioelectronics could obtain. Furthermore, they need to be firmly attached to the body, affecting the wearing comfort. In this study, we leveraged the versatile thermal drawing process and developed a flexible microelectronic fiber with bioanalytical functions that could be woven into textiles as a new form of wearable bioelectronics.
