Soft stretchable electronics for biomedical applications, from biosensing to biomedical implants
This project will focus on combining aptamers, and nanowires based soft sensors to perform biosensing in humans or to measure strains in muskoeskeletal tissues. This work will involve in-vivo experiments, cleanroom time, as well as time in other laboratories and data processing.
Keywords: stretchable, nanowires, biomedical, material science, magnetic, in-vivo
The LBB - ETHZ is one of the best environments in the world to perform cutting edge research. One of the expertise of this lab is stretchable electronics, for biomedical applications. Biosensing with stretchable electronics makes use of highly elastic polymers known as elastomers where electrically conductive fillers are embedded, creating an elastic composite which changes its electrical properties upon changes of certain biomarkers. In this context, one of the benefits of using stretchable electronics sensors is their elastomeric nature, which is both flexible and stretchable, allowing them to conform to different types of surfaces. In addition, the biocompatible nature of certain elastomers allows the use of such sensors inside of the human body for biomedical applications. This project will focus on combining aptamers, and nanowires based soft sensors to perform biosensing in humans or to measure strains in muskoeskeletal tissues. The person working on this project will spend time in a very nice environment with access to state-of-the-art equipment.
