Progress of Wearable and Flexible Electrochemical Biosensors With the Aid of Conductive Nanomaterials

Abstract

Conductive nanomaterials have recently gained a lot of interest due to their excellent physical, chemical, and electrical properties, as well as their numerous nanoscale morphologies, which enable them to be fabricated into a wide range of modern chemical and biological sensors. This study focuses mainly on current applications based on conductive nanostructured materials. They are the key elements in preparing wearable electrochemical Biosensors, including electrochemical immunosensors and DNA biosensors. Conductive nanomaterials such as carbon (Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene), metals and conductive polymers, which provide a large effective surface area, fast electron transfer rate and high electrical conductivity, are summarized in detail. Conductive polymer nanocomposites in combination with carbon and metal nanoparticles have also been addressed to increase sensor performance. In conclusion, a section on current challenges and opportunities in this growing field is forecasted at the end.

Recent Developments and Future Directions of Wearable Skin Biosignal Sensors

“…However, measuring and analyzing biosignals is challenging due to their complexity, variability, and noise. [ 11 ] In this paper, we focused on four types of biosignals: electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), and photoplethysmogram (PPG). We discuss their features, applications, and challenges in the context of wearable biosensors and Internet of Things (IoT) systems.…”
