A skin patch with diving beetle-inspired architectures for multidirectional, reversible attachment and sweat capture |
| 초록 |
Wearable or skin-attachable electronics offer potential solutions for quantitative, spatiotemporal measurements of physiological information from sweat to analyze an individual’s state of health. Here, we report an adhesive based on mushroom-shaped pillars with microscale cavities inspired by suction cups in the setae of male diving beetles for reversible and resistant adhesion in multiple directions and capturing of sweat from the sweat glands on human skin. Our patch shows remarkably high pulling, shearing, and even peeling adhesion strength against pigskin in both dry and wet conditions. We also indicate instant, spontaneous capturing of water driven by both the suction effect of the suction cups, as well as the hydrophilicity of the porous hydrogel embedded within the microcavities. Hence, our diving beetle-inspired adhesive could be promising in advances of sweat capturing and skin attachable interfaces diverse applications of ambulatory health diagnostics and monitoring. |
