INDEX

Electronic plays a very important role in developing simple devices used for any purpose.

Material which mimics the Human Skin in one or more ways

The best achievement as well the future example of integrated electronics in the medical field is the electronic skin.

INTRODUCTION

It made from biocompatible silicon rubber with pressure sensitive sensors.

It can measure electrical activity of the heart, brain waves and other vital signs.

Ultra thin skin turn on hand

e-skin can be directly laminated on the surface of the skin, allowing us to electronically functionalize human skin.

It attaches to the skin like a stick-on tattoo.

ELECTRONIC SKIN

It borrowed directly kids temporary transfer tattoos.

It attaches through the weak forces of van de wals interactions.

Circuitry “spider web” of materials

Narrow snake like silicon filaments that serve as wires connected to tiny the sensors designed to monitor particular bodily functions.

IDEA

Human skin can sense pressure, temperature, stretch and can heal itself

2010:a) attaching nanowire transistor to sticky substrate,

embedded in thin pressure sensitive rubber capable of sensing wide range of pressure (california university)

b) First prototype for e-skin

2011:a) a) stretchable solar cell used to power the electronic

skin (stanford). 2012:a) self healing capacityb) Made by nickel and plastic

DEVELOPMENT OF E-SKIN

Antenna is used to transmit the recorded electrical signals of skin to the receiver.

Strain gauges are used for measuring the signals generated by the heart.

Temperature sensors are used for measuring the temperature.

WORKING

It takes the signals from the body and transfer them to the device.

Localized electrical stimulation: “smart bandage”: temperature changes across the wound.

Muscle contractions in the neck can control the mouse in computer game.

APPLICATION

APPLICATION

Multifunctional sensor for normal, shear, and torsion strains made from interlocking, metal-coated fibers

Stretchable sensor system able to measure pressure.

Strain composed of buckled CNT-based electrodes.

The right-most pane depicts the pressure distribution measured by pressing on the center pixel.

 Recent devices have already surpassed the capabilities of biological skin in terms of sensitivity, spatial resolution, and stretchability.

ADVANTAGE

COST IS VERY HIGH

SINGLE USE

DISADVANTAGE

ROBOTICS

HEALTH APPLICATION

SMART WALLPAPERS

E-PAPERS

USES

In future even virtual screens may be placed on the device for knowing our body function.

It has bright future in robotics industries to make it sensible also.

FUTURE SCOPE

The electronics skin is one such device that depicts the beauty of electronics and its uses in daily life.

The electronic devices gain more demand in the market when they are in compact in size and best in functioning.
