Application of polymeric materials in the fabrication of flexible biosensors

Thesis

Flexible and organic electronics, such as wearable biosensor devices, have gained increasing success over recent decades. A key objective at the intersection of industry and academia remains the development of processes and materials that enable the commercial-scale fabrication of these devices. By utilising high-throughput printing techniques, such as flexography, it is possible to produce large-area and wearable sensors at low cost, with a reduced environmental impact. To support the realis...
