Researchers Design New Inks For 3D-Printable Wearable Bioelectronics

A Texas A&M team has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue.

Flexible electronics have enabled the design of sensors, actuators, microfluidics and electronics on flexible, conformal and/or stretchable sublayers for wearable, implantable or ingestible applications. However, these devices have very different mechanical and biological properties when compared to human tissue and thus cannot be integrated with the human body. A team of researchers at Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of...
