Abstract
Transient bioelectronics that are easily degradable and recyclable hold promising applications in wearable and implantable settings. Although the advancement of wearable and implantable transient bioelectronics is still in its early stages, recent advancements in materials (such as hydrogels and liquid metals) and devices have paved the way for high-performance and cost-effective transient bioelectronics. This short review focuses on the recent development of wearable and implantable transient bioelectronics. The fundamentals of transient bioelectronics, including the principles of material choice and device design, are discussed. The recent progresses of transient bioelectronics in fields of biosignal sensing, wood healing, drug delivery, and therapy are also highlighted.
