Recent advances in the material design for intelligent wearable devices

Abstract

With the rapid development of intelligent devices, medical devices, flexible robots, and other fields, it is an inevitable trend of future development for intelligent wearable devices to replace traditional bulky electronic devices. The design of traditional macroscopic electronic devices can no longer satisfy the requirements of intelligent wearable devices. To realize the efficient application of intelligent wearable devices, the design of micro–nano structured materials in electronic devices is crucial for accurate real-time acquisition of signals from human physiological movements and environmental changes. This article reviews the recent application of micro–nano structured materials in intelligent wearable devices, including material composition design, structure design, and the applications of intelligent wearable device. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of novel materials in the application of intelligent wearable devices are discussed.
