Skin is the body’s largest organ and is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable, stretchable, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure, pain, and temperature. The development of electronic materials, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous, unrealized materials challenge.
Join ACS President H.N. Cheng for “Frontier Fridays” a mini-series that explores new frontiers in science that will revolutionize the future of the human race. During this first broadcast, chemical engineer Zhenan Bao of Stanford University will share details of her work in developing electronic materials inspired by the complexity of human skin and how solving this tremendous, unrealized materials challenge may change the way humans interact with electronics through skin-inspired sensors, circuits, and batteries.
This ACS Webinar is moderated by Young-Shin Jun (Chair of Science & Technology Subcommittee of the ACS Committee on Science) of the Washington University in St. Louis. The “Frontier Fridays” Webinar Series are organized by ACS President H.N. Cheng, Michael Morello (Division Representative, ACS Committee on Science) Retired formerly PepsiCo R&D, Young-Shin Jun of Washington University in St. Louis, and Martin G. Kociolek (Chair of the ACS Committee on Science) of Penn State Behrend, and co-produced with the ACS Committee on Science.
