Superhydrophobic Smart Coating for Wearable Electronic Devices

Superhydrophobic Smart Coating for Wearable Electronic Devices

Ting Zhang and co-workers from the Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences develop a novel superhydrophobic and piezoresistive coating for wearable sensing devices. The coating is durable in harsh conditions and can be used to detect real-time human movement when fabricated as a wearable strain sensor.
