Biocompatible/Biodegradable electronic components, particularly single crystalline silicon nanomemebranes (Si NMs)/nanoribbons (Si NRs) based systems provide reliable, high performance electrical properties. Envisioned uses for such systems include neural electrodes for recording/stimulating brain signals, pressure/flow sensors for monitoring intracranial pressure and blood flow, and Wi-Fi bioresorbable drug delivery vehicles for therapeutic purposes.
The future of wearable technology provides real-time information with multi-functionality in all situations of areas in fashion, health care, and social interactions.
Various sensors that can be used for biomedical applications and monitoring environment (pH, gas, hydration, pressure, flow sensor, etc)
Monolithic integrated circuits consisting of independent electronic components, including numbers of transistors, diodes, photodetectors, resistors and etc., built by current CMOS compatible fabrication procedures.
Developments of degradable metals or alloys for enhancing tunability of dissolution behaviors, and polymer synthesis for investigating untouched possibilities as encapsulants, substrates and dielectrics.
