Graphene electronic e-tattoo (GET) as imperceptible wearable sensors

Graphene electronic tattoo (GET) is a group of ultrathin stretchable dry sensors for measuring electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), skin temperature, and skin hydration. Because of low thickness (463 ± 30 nm) and ultra low areal mass density of GET, it forms conformal  contact to the skin and stays intact without any adhesive or tape just via van der Waals force. A bare GET is able to stay attached to skin for several hours without fracture or delamination. With liquid bandage coverage, a GET may stay functional on the skin for up to several days. The optical transparency of  GET is ∼85%, and it is more stretchable (40%) than human skin (10 to 30%).  The GET can be directly laminated on human skin just like a temporary tattoo and can fully conform to the microscopic morphology of the skin.

“Cut-and-paste” manufacture of multiparametric EES

We report a cost and time effective, completely dry, benchtop “cut-and-paste” method for the freeform and portable manufacture of multiparametric epidermal sensor systems (ESS) within minutes. This versatile method works for all types of thin metal and polymeric sheets and is compatible with any tattoo adhesives or medical tapes. The resulting ESS are multimaterial and multifunctional and have been demonstrated to noninvasively but accurately measure electrophysiological signals, skin temperature, skin hydration, as well as respiratory rate. In addition, planar stretchable coils exploiting double-stranded serpentine design have been successfully applied as wireless, passive epidermal strain sensors.
