The field of wearable sensors has evolved with operating devices capable measuring biomechanics and biometrics, detecting speech. transduction, being the conversion biosignal to a measurable quantifiable electrical signal, is governed by conductive organic polymer. Meanwhile, conformality skin substrate quintessential. Both polymer must work in concert reversibly deform user’s movements for motion tracking. While polydimethylsiloxane shows mechanical compliance as sensor substrate, it environmental interest replace sustainable degradable alternatives. As both bulk weight area consist using renewable biodegradable materials its preparation would be an important step toward improving lifecycle sensors. This review highlights resistive that are prepared from naturally occurring polymers biodegradable. Conductive polythiophenes also presented, well how they integrated into biopolymer showing skin. highlighted because structural conformality, conductivity, processability, ensuring fulfils requirements use without adversely affecting overall sustainability biodegradability Different their performance compared conventional illustrate successful integration biosourced comprising desired elasticity sensitivity movement. current state-of-the-art along knowledge biopolymers different fields can leveraged rational design next generation potentially composted after use.
