Electronic skin refers to flexible, stretchable and self-healing electronics that are able to mimic functionalities of human or animal skin. [1] [2] The broad class of materials often contain sensing abilities that are intended to reproduce the capabilities of human skin to respond to environmental factors such as changes in heat and pressure.
Stretchable electronics, also known as elastic electronics or elastic circuits, is a group of technologies for building electronic circuits by depositing or embedding electronic devices and circuits onto stretchable substrates such as silicones or polyurethanes, to make a completed circuit that can experience large strains without failure.
Chen is known for his development of soft conformal materials for bioelectronic interfaces in elevating the sensing capability of sensor systems beyond human senses, and contributions to material science, chemistry, nanotechnology, energy storage and flexible electronics.

The goal of soft robotics is the design and construction of robots with physically flexible bodies and electronics. In some applications, softness is restricted to a localized region of a machine. For example, rigid-bodied robotic arms can employ soft end effectors to gently grab and manipulate delicate or irregularly shaped objects. [ 3 ]
There is a particularly growing interest for flexible smart electronic systems, including photovoltaic, sensing and processing devices, driven by the desire to extend and integrate the latest advances in (opto-)electronic technologies into a broad range of low-cost (even disposable) consumer products of our everyday life, and as tools to bring ...
The development of Flexible Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices has been a significant driver in the advancement of wearable technology and microfluidic systems. These devices are typically fabricated on polymer substrates, such as Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) and polyimide, and utilize sputtering deposition of materials like AlN and ZnO. [44]
Wearable technology is any technology that is designed to be used while worn.Common types of wearable technology include smartwatches and smartglasses.Wearable electronic devices are often close to or on the surface of the skin, where they detect, analyze, and transmit information such as vital signs, and/or ambient data and which allow in some cases immediate biofeedback to the wearer.
