A recent research work led by the team of Dr. Xinge YU and researchers from the Northwestern University and Huston University has successfully developed a blow-spinning technique that enables realizing 3D-inorganic nanofiber network (FN) films, including transparent metal oxide conducting & semiconducting materials and metallic materials. The resulted FN films exhibit great stretchability, and can be integrated with thin soft substrate for wearable sensors to monitor toxic gases, UV irradiation, strain, pressure, temperature, humidity, body movement and respiratory functions. By choosing proper FN materials, the corresponding electronics devices exhibit excellent sensitivity, response time, and detection limits, thereby making them promising candidates for next generation wearable electronics. The study has been published by the journal Nature Communications with title 'Flexible and stretchable metal oxide nanofiber networks for multimodal and monolithically integrated wearable electronics'.
