DESCRIPTION:Skin is the body’s largest organ. It is responsible for the 
 transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable\, stretchab
 le\, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects sign
 als from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure
 \, pain\, and temperature. The development of electronic materials\, inspi
 red by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous\, unrealized materials
  challenge. However\, the advent of organic-based electronic materials may
  offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem. Over the past de
 cade\, we have developed materials design concepts to add skin-like functi
 ons to organic electronic materials without compromising their electronic 
 properties. We developed various soft sensors for continuous measurements\
 , including pressure\, strain\, shear\, temperature\, electrophysiological
  and neurotransmitter sensors. The above sensors and integrated circuits a
 re the foundations for soft bioelectronics and are enabling a broad range 
 of new tools for medical devices\, robotics and wearable electronics. \n\n
