The field of smart wearable devices will usher in "spring": implanted in the human body to monitor the condition

The "Nature" Flexible Electronics Symposium - Opportunities and Challenges and "International Conference on Optoelectronics, Materials and Energy" (2016), hosted by Nature and Nature News in conjunction with Nanjing University of Technology, was held in Nanjing. The conference attracted more than 200 experts and scholars from more than ten countries and regions including the United States, Australia, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, etc., and held nearly 40 special reports to promote academics in the field of flexible electronics. Influential, exploring technological breakthroughs and application prospects, and promoting the communication and cooperation of the global scientific community to make a useful contribution.

Wearable smart devices or "spring" that will usher in development

Flexible electronics is still a relatively new concept for the public. According to field experts, it is a technology for installing electronic circuits on flexible substrates, involving organic optoelectronic devices, organic solar cells, wearable sensors, flexible thin film transistors, organic storage, Research directions such as flexible energy storage and conversion devices are the frontiers of international science and technology that have emerged rapidly in recent years.

According to Professor Huang Yonggang of Northwestern University, combined with high-efficiency and low-cost manufacturing processes, flexible electronic devices have broad application prospects in the medical field, such as electronic skin and implantable medical sensing devices.

According to Huang Yonggang, at present, LED light panels made of flexible electronics that can be implanted into the human body have been used in the medical field. “This new implant helps doctors monitor the condition of the patient's body and provide appropriate treatments in a timely manner. At the same time, it can degrade itself and be harmlessly absorbed by body fluids according to the design procedure.” Huang Yonggang said, “This dissolves. The electronics, made up of millions of millimeters thick silicon and magnesium circuits, do not need to be removed from the body after they work."

In addition, flexible electronics can be made into skin-like wearable medical devices that contain up to 3,600 liquid crystal arrays placed on a thin, flexible, stretchable substrate. With 3,600 liquid crystals, the photonic device has 3,600 temperature points and provides sub-millimeter spatial resolution, equivalent to the infrared technology currently used in hospitals. “Put this device on the body. When the color of the device changes, the wearer knows which part of the condition is out. It can quickly alert people with cardiovascular problems or moisturize the skin. And the device is completely waterproof and swims. The same can be worn." Huang Yonggang added.

In order to explain more vividly the application of flexible electronics in the field of wearable smart devices, Huang Yonggang also gave an example. "Flexible electronics can also be made into wearable devices attached to the arm to test the degree of skin exposure in the sun. To protect the carrier's skin from being overly sunburned, and to download software through the mobile app, you can get the latest detection information of your body as soon as you get close to the device."

Change from "portable" to "wearable"

According to Donal Bradley, vice president of the University of Oxford in the UK, flexible electronics is driving the transformation of smart devices from "portable" to "wearable." According to him, since the processing and production of flexible electronics is very similar to the processing technology of plastics, it has the advantages of being mass-produced and replicable.

"And flexible electronics can be bent and twisted at will, or they can be reconfigured by any combination of boards, so a single product can produce different products, which makes the production itself more flexible," Bradley added.

When asked by reporters, what are the conditions for such popular flexible electronics to be further popularized, Bradley said, “We are currently researching and developing a way to seal this material to prevent it from being transported or used. Oxidation occurs."

It is understood that with the rapid development of flexible electronics, it will make more portable electronic devices possible, satisfying the growing demand for wearable smart devices, real-time health monitoring, clean energy, etc., which is of great significance and value.

In addition, according to Paul Burn, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia, flexible electronics will also be used in explosive sensor devices, which will be used mainly at airport stations and military inspections of dangerous goods such as explosives and the elimination of safety hazards. The basic commissioning phase will soon be a finished product.
