Ultra-Tough Multifunctional Leather-Based e-Skin as Sensitive Multimodal Sensors for Strain, Temperature, Humidity, and Bioelectrical Signals

Electronic skin (e-skin), an emerging class of flexible integrated electronic devices, is designed to replicate the multifaceted functionalities of human skin, playing a critical role in the realms of wearable technology and healthcare monitoring. Despite their potential, the existing e-skins often fall short in achieving the robust mechanical strength, multifunctionality, and biocompatibility necessary for real applications. Durability and aesthetic appeal are also highly valued. This study introduced an innovative, ultratough, multifunctional transparent leather-based e-skin that can address these challenges. By employing the natural microstructure of tanned goatskin as a substrate, this work created this…
