DESCRIPTION:We combine microfluidic fabrication with liquid metal (based o
 n Gallium) encapsulated in elastic polymers to achieve stretchable and bio
 degradable electronic circuitry. Conductive inks made from lipid metals-po
 lymer composites (MPC) can be encapsulated within elastomer-based microflu
 idic channels that serve as conducting wires that are flexible\, stretchab
 le and completely biodegradable. MPCs are applicable to biochemical assays
 \, pharmaceutical screening and conformal devices that can adhere to and m
 easure electrical/chemical signals of human organs. By being completely bi
 ocompatible and stretchable\, MPCs integrate seamlessly with living tissue
 s. These properties can dramatically expand the capability of electronic d
 evices as biomedical sensors\, as well as actuators for controllable movem
 ent of cells and gene therapy. MPC-based epidermal electronics\, such as b
 lood oxygen sensors and sweat detection devices\, allow real-time health m
 onitoring. Implanted MPCs can form “electronic blood vessels” that int
 egrates sensing with regeneration in model animals.
