Abstract
Inspired by the animal skin fiber network, we developed an electronic skin (e-skin) utilizing natural sheepskin as the primary substrate. This innovative design addresses the limitations of conventional e-skins, including inadequate mechanical strength, overly complex artificial network construction, and limited health monitoring capabilities. This e-skin successfully retains the structure and properties of natural sheepskin while exhibiting exceptional mechanical strength (with a breaking strength of 4.01 MPa) and high elongation (with an elongation at a break of 304.8%). Moreover, it possesses various desirable attributes such as electrical conductivity, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and environmental stability. In addition, this e-skin has the advantage of diverse data collection (joint movement, bioelectricity, foot health detection, and speech disorder communication systems). Therefore, this e-skin breaks the traditional construction strategy and single-mode application and is expected to become an ideal material for building smart sensor devices.
