Biodegradable Electronic Devices

Kapitel i bok, 2022

Recent progress in advanced health monitoring and therapeutic technologies, which chiefly relays on biocompatible or degradable electronics, has great possible to ease the environmentally friendly footmark of devices. Intricate biodegradable electronics entail biocompatible substrates, conductors, semiconductors, and insulators, all of which involve the vital construction blocks of devices. This chapter enumerates the modern trends in the approaches engaged to prepare biodegradable forms for each of these constituents. The biocompatible or degradable material includes nanomaterials, nanocomposites, conducting polymers, and other hybrid materials that can break down without full chemical breakdown and can be reused into other forms of building blocks that often need cautious synthetic methods, which will be discussed along with the outcomes. Significant development has been made in emerging degradable electronic device constituents; the mechanical and electrical assets of these materials must be enhanced beforehand completely degradable intricate electronics can be appreciated.
