ABSTRACT

Flexible electronics has received growing attention due to its intriguing properties in many fields, including health monitoring, human-machine interface etc. However, the narrow working range, disappointing detection limit and other problems have brought huge challenges to demanding practical applications of flexible electronics, thus seeking new perspectives to solve these problems. Nature is the first teacher of mankind. It has evolved for billions of years and developed countless admirable strategies to help organisms adapt to their surroundings. In this review, we rendered an overview of updated and rounded advances in nature-inspired flexible electronics. Firstly, we summarized the methods of combining biological materials with other materials to create flexible devices. Secondly, we unveiled a relationship between the biological structures and flexible electronics’ performance. Finally, we concluded the latest developments in mimicking biological functions. With span-new perspectives, these summaries and conclusions are expected to provide inspiration for designing nature-inspired flexible electronics.

摘要

柔性电子由于其在健康监测、人机界面等诸多领域的迷人特性而受到越来越多的关注。然而，窄的工作范围、令人失望的检测限等问题给要求苛刻的柔性电子的实际应用带来了巨大的挑战，从而寻求新的视角来解决这些问题。自然是人类的第一位老师。它已经进化了数十亿年，并制定了无数令人钦佩的策略来帮助生物体适应周围环境。在这篇评论中，我们概述了受自然启发的柔性电子产品的更新和全面进展。首先，我们总结了将生物材料与其他材料结合以制造柔性器件的方法。第二，我们揭示了生物结构与柔性电子性能之间的关系。最后，我们总结了模拟生物功能的最新进展。凭借全新的视角，这些总结和结论有望为设计受自然启发的柔性电子产品提供灵感。
