Abstract

Adhesion between flexible devices and skin surface facilitates portability of devices and reliable signal acquisition from human body, which is essential for medical therapy devices or monitoring systems. Here, we utilize a simple, cost-effective, and scalable layer-by-layer dip-coating method to fabricate a skin-adhesive multifunctional textile-based device, consisting of three parts: low-cost and easily available airlaid paper (AP) substrate, conductive MXene sensitive layer, and adhesive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The adhesive layer of lightly cross-linked PDMS enables the device to form conformal contact with skin even during human joint bending. The smart textile device exhibits excellent electro-thermal and photo-thermal conversion performance with good cycling stability and tunability. Furthermore, the textile electronics show good electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties due to the good electrical conductivity, as well as sensitive and stable pressure sensing properties for human motion detection. Consequently, this efficient strategy provides a possible way to design multifunctional and wearable electronic textiles for medical applications.
