Permeable Skin Patch with Miniaturized Octopus-Like Suckers for Biosignal Monitoring.

Abstract

Wearable electronics demand high adhesion properties through various skin conditions. Here, 3D-printed porous skin patches with octopus-like suckers of different geometries are presented. Experimental and theoretical studies are investigated to show an enhanced, low-cost 3D-printed bioinspired patches that successfully obtain biosignals comparable to commercial electrodes.Clinical Relevance- This work establishes low-cost, highly-adhesive skin patches that are irritation- and contamination-free with effortless peel-off technique for biosignal measurement.
