| Summary: | Bidirectional interfacing between electrodes and biological systems has enabled
diagnostics and therapeutics in modern medicine, however the inherent
dissimilarity between the soft, ion-rich, dynamic biological tissues and the
rigid, dry, static electronic systems hinders the establishment of effective and
reliable bioelectronic interfaces. In the past decade, the scope of flexible/
stretchable electronics has been broadened into bioelectronics owing to the
need of implementation of various biocompatible soft conductors. Herein,
the basic requirements for the construction of both epidermal and implantable
bioelectronic interfaces utilizing soft materials are discussed, the most
recent progress in the development of soft conductors, which are customized
to interface with skin and other tissues, are summarized. An outlook into the
remaining obstacles is provided and possible strategies to facilitate technological
advances in bioelectronics are also outlined. |
