The mechanical mismatch between conventional rigid electronic devices and soft human tissues often causes various issues, such as a low signal-to-noise ratio of biosensors, inflammations on the tissue interfacing with the bioelectronics, skin irritations in the case of long-term wearing of the device, and ineffective electrical stimulations in feedback therapies. Ultra-flexible and stretchable bioelectronic devices have a low system modulus and intrinsic softness, and thereby have a potential to solve these issues. Nanomaterials and their composites with the elastomeric matrix are a particularly promising material candidate for realizing this soft bioelectronics concept. In this talk, the unique strategies in the synthesis of nanmaterials, processing them as stretchable conductive nanocomposites, seamless integration with human tissue, and their wearable device applications are presented.
