The Bao Group’s electronic skin has evolved over the past 19 years from sensing hand grasping, blood pressure, neurochemicals, and brain waves, and is now also self-healing and biodegradable.

For Bao, a chemical engineer focused on making polymers, the skin is not only a sensory organ, but also a material. One that, in her words, is flexible, but also stretchable, self-healing, and ...

To make a fully soft e-skin, Bao’s team developed a flexible polymer for use as a dielectric — a thin layer in a semiconductor device that determines the strength of the signal and the voltage ...
