Soft on-skin electronics have broad applications in human healthcare, human-machine interface, robotics, and others. However, most current electronic devices are made of materials with limited gas permeability, which constrain perspiration evaporation, resulting adverse physiological psychological effects, limiting their long-term feasibility. In addition, the device fabrication process usually involves e-beam or photolithography, thin-film deposition, etching, and/or other complicated...
Novel transport phenomena through nanopores are expected to emerge as their diameters approach subnanometer scales. However, it has been challenging explore such a regime experimentally. Here, this study reports on polymer pores exhibiting unique selective ionic transport. 12 μm long, parallel oriented fabricated in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films by irradiation with GeV heavy ions and subsequent 3 h exposure UV radiation. These show selectivity spanning more than 6 orders of...
Significance Point-of-care thermal management (e.g., joule heating, passive cooling) shows promising applications in body temperature regulations, which can improve human comfort and reduce energy consumption. On-skin electronics with joule-heating elements have been reported. However, the research of making on-skin passive-cooling functionalities is still rare. By using multiscale porous polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene as supporting substrates, we developed...

Significance On-skin electronics are usually fabricated by patterning conventional inorganic materials, novel organic or emerging nanomaterials on flexible polymer substrates. Consequently, the state-of-the-art on-skin suffer from expensive precursor costly fabrication facilities, complex processes, and limited disposability. By using widely accessible pencils papers as tools, we have developed a variety of cost-effective disposable electronic devices, ranging biophysical sensors sweat...
Liquid metal–elastomer composite is a promising soft conductor for skin-interfaced bioelectronics, robots, and others due to its large stretchability, ultrasoftness, high electrical conductivity, mechanical-electrical decoupling. However, it often suffers from deformation-induced leakage, which can smear skin, deteriorate device performance, cause circuit shorting. Besides, antimicrobial property desirable in conductors minimize microbial infections. Here, we report phase separation–based...
Abstract Concepts that draw inspiration from soft biological tissues have enabled significant advances in creating artificial materials for a range of applications, such as dry adhesives, tissue engineering, biointegrated electronics, muscles, and robots.

A four-point bend test fixture and a daisy-chained coupon with BGA mounted at 45-degree orientation were developed to evaluate solder joint failure through simple finite element modeling procedure. The bending was performed under various loading speed. BGAs tested have 1.27 mm 1.00 pitches, respectively. One of the significant findings is that joints highly strain rate dependent. At higher rate, failed much less board deflection for some BGAs. This indicates common practice quasi-static not...
