Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technology drive demand for affordable, compact, lightweight, and flexible wearable devices. Flexible devices integrate functional materials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes, conductive polymers) with flexible substrates (e.g., fiber fabrics, polymers), combining substrate flexibility with material properties like conductivity, photothermal response, and strength. Encompassing electronic (e.g., flexible displays, circuits) and non-electronic types (e.g., paper-based chips, actuators), they find applications in energy storage, biomimetics, biomedicine, and beyond. This review covers the constituent materials, functional material patterning methods, and biomedical applications of flexible devices, focusing on sensing/monitoring, disease treatment/healthcare, and artificial organs.

摘要

Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technology drive demand for affordable, compact, lightweight, and flexible wearable devices. Flexible devices integrate functional materials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes, conductive polymers) with flexible substrates (e.g., fiber fabrics, polymers), combining substrate flexibility with material properties like conductivity, photothermal response, and strength. Encompassing electronic (e.g., flexible displays, circuits) and non-electronic types (e.g., paper-based chips, actuators), they find applications in energy storage, biomimetics, biomedicine, and beyond. This review covers the constituent materials, functional material patterning methods, and biomedical applications of flexible devices, focusing on sensing/monitoring, disease treatment/healthcare, and artificial organs.
