Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Swallowing Apnea Duration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The effects of age, gender, bolus volume, and trial on swallowing apnea duration (SAD) and swallow/respiratory phase relationships were examined. Sixty adults, comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age groups (i.e., 20 to 39, 40 to 59 ...

Mucosa‐Interfacing Capsule for In Situ Sensing the Elasticity of Biological Tissues

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
A fundamental mechanism of palpating soft materials is reported to sense deep tissue elasticity in situ with minimal invasion using the interaction between the robot palpation unit and soft tissues. Both the robot locomotion and elasticity sensing functions are remotely controlled by external magnetic fields, while the sensing data are wirelessly ...

Electrolyte‐Jet 3D Printing of Copper‐Based Strain Sensors for Physiological Signal Monitoring and Robotic Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐jet (EJ) 3D printing turns copper ions into precisely arranged copper microspheres, which combine with flexible polymers and carbon nanomaterials to create durable, high‐sensitivity sensors. These sensors accurately monitor human motion and physiological signals. Real‐time robotic hand control via gesture mirroring demonstrates an intuitive
