The practical applications of skin-interfaced sensors and devices in daily life hinge on the rational design of surface wettability to maintain device integrity and achieve improved sensing performance under complex hydrated conditions. Various bioinspired strategies have been implemented to engineer desired surface wettability for varying hydrated conditions. Although the bodily fluids can negatively affect the device performance, they also provide a rich reservoir of health-relevant information and sustained energy for next-generation stretchable self-powered devices. As a result, the design and manipulation of the surface wettability are critical to effectively control the liquid behavior on the device surface for enhanced performance. The sensors and devices with engineered surface wettability can collect and analyze health biomarkers while being minimally affected by bodily fluids or ambient humid environments. The energy harvesters also benefit from surface wettability design to achieve enhanced performance for powering on-body electronics. This review first summarizes the commonly used approaches to tune the surface wettability for target applications toward skin-interfaced sensors and devices. By considering the existing challenges, one also discusses the opportunities as a small fraction of potential future developments, which can lead to a new class of skin-interfaced devices for use in digital health and personalized medicine.

The pandemic of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) attracts dramatic attention worldwide that biosensing technology plays an essential role in screening, tracing, and diagnostics of the diseases in society. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the significant features of biosensor development, called ASSURED: affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free, and delivered to the end-user. Consequently, the practical, low-cost, and environmentally friendly components of biosensors are urgently required in the future for such cases of massive tests in homecare and point of care. This article reviews the emerging trend and applications of recent biosensor research utilizing reusable and biodegradable components. The challenges of future development were discussed to overview the consideration of the subsequent research roadmap.

“…The flow characteristics and the detection methods employed in threads are similar to those employed in paper, since both are porous (Berthier et al, 2017;Tan et al, 2021). However, compared to paper devices, thread-based devices are more suitable for wearable applications since threads can be used to create clothing either by directly sewing, or having walls patterned onto cloth (Xiao et al, 2019;Tan et al, 2021;Xia et al, 2021).…”

Effective environmental monitoring has become a worldwide concern, requiring the development of novel tools to deal with pollution risks and manage natural resources. However, a majority of current assessment methods are still costly and labor-intensive. Thanks to the rapid advancements in microfluidic technology over the past few decades, great efforts have been made to develop miniaturized tools for rapid and efficient environmental monitoring. Compared to traditional large-scale devices, microfluidic approaches provide several advantages such as low sample and energy consumption, shortened analysis time and adaptabilities to onsite applications. More importantly, it provides a low-cost solution for onsite environmental assessment leveraging the ubiquitous materials such as paper and plastics, and cost-effective fabrication methods such as inkjet printing and drawing. At present, devices that are disposable, reproducible, and capable of mass production have been developed and manufactured for a wide spectrum of applications related to environmental monitoring. This review summarizes the recent advances of low-cost microfluidics in the field of environmental monitoring. Initially, common low-cost materials and fabrication technologies are introduced, providing a perspective on the currently available low-cost microfluidic manufacturing techniques. The latest applications towards effective environmental monitoring and assessment in water quality, air quality, soil nutrients, microorganisms, and other applications are then reviewed. Finally, current challenges on materials and fabrication technologies and research opportunities are discussed to inspire future innovations.
