“…g) Schematic diagram for a single pVIII protein with tunable dipole strength through modulating the glutamates number (E; yellow) at its N-terminus. Furthermore, the piezoelectric nature of the electroactive chitin is confirmed from PFM analysis studied by Kang et al [115] Electrospun aligned chitin nanofibers exhibited higher piezoelectric strength than randomly oriented electrospun nanofibers, strongly supported by PFM analysis (Figure 9i). Error bars show one standard deviation.…”

“…[107] Similar way, the XRD analysis (Figure 7f) of PS was showing three peaks at 2θ ≈ 20°, 9.3°, and 23.4° which were corresponding to (110), (020), and (130) planes, respectively. [115] FTIR analysis (Figure 7i) was carried out with spin coated chitin fibers and mixed αand β-crystalline phases are obtained by the appearances of multiple and broad peaks at ≈1630, ≈1620, and ≈1660 cm −1 where more than 70% β-crystalline phase region is present. [140] FTIR analysis was (Figure 7g) also studied in order to know the existence of amide bond and their associated H-bonding in the crystalline chitin nanofibers.…”

Electronics wastes (e‐wastes) are the major concern in the rapid expansion of smart/wearable/portable electronics in modern high‐tech society. Informal processing and enormous gathering of e‐wastes can lead to adverse human/animal health effects and environmental pollution worldwide. Currently, these issues are a big headache and require the scientific community to develop effective green energy harvesting technologies using biodegradable/biocompatible materials. Piezoelectric/triboelectric nanogenerators (PNGs/TNGs) are considered one of the most promising renewable green energy sources for the conversion of mechanical/biomechanical energies into electricity. However, organic/inorganic material based PNGs/TNGs are very much incompatible, and considered e‐wastes for their non‐biodegradability. This review covers potential uses of biodegradable/biocompatible materials which are wasted every day as nature driven material based bio‐nanogenerators with a particular focus on their applications in flexible PNGs/TNGs fabrication. Structural investigation and possible working principles are described first in order to outline the basic mechanism of bio‐inspired materials behind energy harvesting. Then, energy harvesting abilities and the mechanical sensing of bio‐inspired integrated flexible devices are discussed under various mechanical/biomechanical activities. Finally, their potential applications in various flexible, wearable, and portable electronic fields are demonstrated. These bio‐inspired energy harvesting devices can make huge changes in fields as diverse as portable electronics, in vitro/in vivo biomedical applications, and many more.

Electronic skin (e-skin) technology is an exciting frontier to drive the next generation of wearable electronics owing to its high level of wearability, enabling high accuracy to harvest information of users and their surroundings. Recently, biomimicry of human and biological skins has become a great inspiration for realizing novel wearable electronic systems with exceptional multifunctionality as well as advanced sensory functions. This review covers and highlights bioinspired e-skins mimicking perceptive features of human and biological skins. In particular, five main components in tactile sensation processes of human skin are individually discussed with recent advances of e-skins that mimic the unique sensing mechanisms of human skin. In addition, diverse functionalities in user-interactive, skinattachable, and ultrasensitive e-skins are introduced with the inspiration from unique architectures and functionalities, such as visual expression of stimuli, reversible adhesion, easy deformability, and camouflage, in biological skins of natural creatures. Furthermore, emerging wearable sensor systems using bioinspired e-skins for body motion tracking, healthcare monitoring, and prosthesis are described. Finally, several challenges that should be considered for the realization of next-generation skin electronics are discussed with recent outcomes for addressing these challenges.
