“…They successfully realized the transfer of PEDOT:PSS ultrathin films to soft substrates by taking advantage of the degradation of adhesion forces between PEDOT:PSS and PDMS over time. Bihar et al reported PEDOT:PSS application on skin by transferring inkjet‐printed PEDOT:PSS films on a tattoo paper . Kim at al., and Yan et al have independently demonstrated the transfer‐printing of PEDOT:PSS onto flexible substrates by using acid to treat PEDOT:PSS films before the transferring process.…”

The use of conducting polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) for the development of soft organic bioelectronic devices, such as organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), is rapidly increasing. However, directly manipulating conducting polymer thin films on soft substrates remains challenging, which hinders the development of conformable organic bioelectronic devices. A facile transfer-printing of conducting polymer thin films from conventional rigid substrates to flexible substrates offers an alternative solution. In this work, it is reported that PEDOT:PSS thin films on glass substrates, once mixed with surfactants, can be delaminated with hydrogels and thereafter be transferred to soft substrates without any further treatments. The proposed method allows easy, fast, and reliable transferring of patterned PEDOT:PSS thin films from glass substrates onto various soft substrates, facilitating their application in soft organic bioelectronics. By taking advantage of this method, skin-attachable tattoo-OECTs are demonstrated, relevant for conformable, imperceptible, and wearable organic biosensing.

“…Other than these common materials and manufacturing process, recent development of ionically conductive inkjet printable materials show great promise for manufacturing biosensors on different substrates including textiles. The combination of inkjet-printed conductive polymer electrodes and ionically conductive materials on top as a coating lowers the skin to electrode impedance and improve SNR of the signal [82]. It is already mentioned that the ionically conductive and tacky hydrogel material is used in almost all commercial electrode to lower skin to electrode impedance, improve ionic conductivity and lower motion artifact.…”

This paper presents an overview of the smart electro-clothing systems (SeCSs) targeted at health monitoring, sports benefits, fitness tracking, and social activities. Technical features of the available SeCSs, covering both textile and electronic components, are thoroughly discussed and their applications in the industry and research purposes have been highlighted. In addition, it also presents the developments in the associated areas of wearable sensor systems and textile-based dry sensors. As it became evident during the literature research, such a review on SeCSs covering all relevant issues has not been presented before. This paper will be particularly helpful for new generation researchers investigating the design, development, function and comforts of the sensor integrated clothing materials.

“…The high conductivity and compatibility with screen printing [19][20][21] and inkjet-printing, 18,22,23 render poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) the benchmark conducting polymer of printed electronics. 24 Inkjet-printed PEDOT:PSS based devices have been used as biosensors, for instance, for acquiring cutaneous recordings of electrophysiological activity, [25][26][27][28] as well as for enzymatic sensing of gases, 22 and of glucose. 18 Due to its soft nature, PEDOT:PSS can also be printed on recyclable, cheap and eco-friendly paper substrates which substitute rather expensive glass and plastics, promising for the realization of disposable in vitro diagnostic tools.…”

Inexpensive and easy-to-use diagnostic tools for fast health screening are imperative, especially in the developing world, where portability and affordability are a necessity. Accurate monitoring of metabolite levels can provide useful information regarding key metabolic activities of the body and detect the concomitant irregularities such as in the case of diabetes, a worldwide chronic disease. Today, the majority of daily glucose monitoring tools rely on piercing the skin to draw blood. The pain and discomfort associated with finger pricking have created a global need to develop non-invasive, portable glucose assays. In this work, we develop a disposable analytical device which can measure physiologically relevant glucose concentrations in human saliva based on enzymatic electrochemical detection. We use inkjet-printing technology for the rapid and low-cost deposition of all the components of this glucose sensor, from the electronics to the biorecognition elements, on commercially available paper substrates. The only electronic component of the sensor is the conducting polymer poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), while the biorecognition element comprises of the enzyme glucose oxidase coupled with an electron mediator. We demonstrate that one month after its fabrication and storage in air-free environment, the sensor maintains its function with only minor performance loss. This fully printed, all-polymer biosensor with its ease of fabrication, accuracy, sensitivity and compatibility with easy-to-obtain biofluids such as saliva aids in the development of next generation low-cost, noninvasive, eco-friendly, and disposable diagnostic tools.
