Microfibers: Bioinspired Composite Microfibers for Skin Adhesion and Signal Amplification of Wearable Sensors (Adv. Mater. 28/2017)

In article number 1701353, Metin Sitti and co‐workers develop bioinspired skin‐adhesives composed of microfibrills decorated with conformal and mushroom‐shaped tips for strong attachment to dry and wet skin. A high skin‐adhesion strength of 18 kPa, along with highly enhanced signal‐to‐noise quality...

Summary:In article number 1701353, Metin Sitti and co‐workers develop bioinspired skin‐adhesives composed of microfibrills decorated with conformal and mushroom‐shaped tips for strong attachment to dry and wet skin. A high skin‐adhesion strength of 18 kPa, along with highly enhanced signal‐to‐noise quality of integrated wearable strain sensors are achieved by excellent shape adaptation and microfibrillar design of skin‐adhesive films.
