Inspired by the animal skin fiber network, we developed an electronic (e-skin) utilizing natural sheepskin as primary substrate. This innovative design addresses limitations of conventional e-skins, including inadequate mechanical strength, overly complex artificial network construction, and limited health monitoring capabilities. e-skin successfully retains structure properties while exhibiting exceptional strength (with a breaking 4.01 MPa) high elongation at break 304.8%). Moreover, it possesses various desirable attributes such electrical conductivity, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, environmental stability. In addition, this has advantage diverse data collection (joint movement, bioelectricity, foot detection, speech disorder communication systems). Therefore, breaks traditional construction strategy single-mode application is expected to become ideal material for building smart sensor devices.

Electronic skin (e-skin) is considered as a highly promising interface for human-computer interaction systems and wearable electronic devices. Through elaborate design assembly of various materials, it possesses multiple characteristics similar to human skin, including remarkable flexibility, stretchability, sensitivity temperature humidity, biocompatibility, efficient interfacial ion/electron transport capabilities. Here, we innovatively integrate multifunctional carbon quantum dots (CQDs), which exhibit conductivity, antibacterial properties, ultraviolet absorption, fluorescence emission, with poly(acrylic acid) glycerin (Gly) into three-dimensional network structure natural goatskin collagen fibers. top-down strategy enhanced by hydrogen bond reconstruction, successfully fabricated novel transparent e-skin (PAC-eSkin). This exhibited significant tensile properties (4.94 MPa strength 263.42% maximum breaking elongation), while also possessing Young's modulus (2.32 MPa). It noteworthy that the functionalized CQDs used was derived from discarded goat hair, addition Gly gave PAC-eSkin excellent antifreezing moisturizing properties. Due presence ultrasmall CQDs, creates channels within PAC-eSkin, could rapidly sense motion physiological signals (with gauge factor (GF) 1.88). Furthermore, had potential replace traditional electrode patches real-time monitoring electrocardiogram, electromyogram, electrooculogram signals, higher SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) 25.1 dB. Additionally, customizable size shape offer vast possibilities construction single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerator systems. We have reason believe development this based on CQDs-functionalized dermal matrices can pave new way innovations in human–computer interfaces their sensing application diverse scenarios.

Bionic electronic skin, with its integrated biological functions, is capable of sensing and responding to external stimuli, potentially surpassing the ideal flexibility natural skin in certain aspects. Most current preparation strategies employ "bottom-up" approach, using various monomers or polymer materials construct artificial networks through physical chemical cross-linking, leading issues complexity limited performance. In this work, we adopted a "top-down" strategy, which collagen fiber network aluminum-tanned sheepskin was utilized as scaffold load itaconic acid (IA) hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA). The subsequent situ polymerization IA HEA led formation poly(itaconic acid-co-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (P(IA-HEA)) filling among skeleton, results successful fabrication high-strength bionic based on (LIHEZ). advantage approach that it can retain structure properties give resulting LIHEZ multiple functions (e.g., electrical conductivity, adhesion, bacteriostasis, biocompatibility, environmental stability), thereby replicating even performance animal skin. demonstrated sensitive stimulus responsiveness durability could serve multimodal sensors (strain, temperature, humidity, bioelectricity) efficiently monitor human movements, physiological signals, changes temperature humidity. This diversified data collection provides reliable assurance for monitoring health. present construction method substrate not only breaks conventional single applications but also new insights selection flexible device substrates, promising be next-generation material constructing intelligent
