Biodegradable Wearable Electronic Devices
Background
Wearable electronic devices such as smart bracelets and smart watches are rapidly integrating into our lives. However, e-waste is non-degradable and harmful, resulting in serious ecological pollution. The design and development of flexible, organic, biodegradable new electronic equipment is environmentally-friendly and has good biocompatibility, which can be applied to wearable devices, implantable devices and other electronic products.
Target
Designing and developing new polymers that can be both conductive and biodegradable. Inventing the electronic devices such as biodegradable circuit board and substrate materials. It is expected to be used for flexible biodegradable wearable devices to measure heart disease, blood pressure, glucose value and sweat content.
