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