The use of bioelectronic devices relies on direct contact with soft biotissues. For transistor-type devices, the semiconductors that need to have interfacing biotissues for effective signal transduction do not adhere well wet tissues, thereby limiting stability and conformability at interface. We report a bioadhesive polymer semiconductor through double-network structure formed by brush redox-active semiconducting polymer. resulting film can form rapid strong adhesion tissue surfaces...
Abstract Soft and stretchable electronics have emerged as highly promising tools for biomedical diagnosis biological studies, they interface intimately with the human body other systems. Most electronic materials devices, however, still Young’s moduli orders of magnitude higher than soft bio-tissues, which limit their conformability long-term biocompatibility. Here, we present a design strategy interlayer allowing use existing relatively high to versatilely realize devices ultralow...
Hydrogels, known for their mechanical and chemical similarity to biological tissues, are widely used in biotechnologies, whereas semiconductors provide advanced electronic optoelectronic functionalities such as signal amplification, sensing, photomodulation. Combining semiconducting properties with hydrogel designs can enhance biointeractive functions intimacy at biointerfaces, but this is challenging owing the low hydrophilicity of polymer semiconductors. We developed a solvent...
