| Abstract Scope |
Bioinspired materials provide exciting opportunities to develop physiologically compliant biosensors and bioelectronic systems. Functional biocomposites with mechanical robustness and flexibility, transparency and importantly, biocompatibility and biodegradability provide a unique palette of properties for biointerfacing sensors. They can serve as both structural and functional components of such devices. We will discuss how bioderived materials such as silks and chitosan can function as the starting point to develop components including electroactive coating materials, flexible electrodes, biosensors, and energy storage devices. Photopatternable bioinks can be formed using conducting polymers to form high resolution, flexible micropatterned surfaces. In addition, designs leading to engineered elastic behaviors and out-of-plane deformations can be facilitated by the use of kirigami inspired cuts. We will show how various biomarkers and physiological targets can be detected in situ using flexible, conformable devices. By combining with organic wiring, such biomaterials can therefore provide viable alternatives to synthetic and metal based devices. |
