There are now numerous emerging flexible and wearable sensing technologies that can perform a myriad of physical and physiological measurements. Rapid advances in developing and implementing such sensors in the last several years have demonstrated the growing significance and potential utility of this unique class of sensing platforms. Applications include wearable consumer electronics, soft robotics, medical prosthetics, electronic skin, and health monitoring. In this review, we provide a state-ofthe-art overview of the emerging flexible and wearable sensing platforms for healthcare and biomedical applications. We first introduce the selection of flexible and stretchable materials and the fabrication of sensors based on these materials. We then compare the different solid-state and liquid-state physical sensing platforms and examine the mechanical deformation-based working mechanisms of these sensors. We also highlight some of the exciting applications of flexible and wearable physical sensors in emerging healthcare and biomedical applications, in particular for artificial electronic skins, physiological health monitoring and assessment, and therapeutic and drug delivery. Finally, we conclude this review by offering some insight into the challenges and opportunities facing this field.

A layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique was employed to modify glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) and screen printed electrodes (SPEs) utilizing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/polyelectrolyte binary composites and an enzyme cascade to facilitate efficient electron transfer in sucrose/O 2 biofuel cell. In this study, MWCNTs immobilized invertase (INV) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) were alternatively assembled upon polyethyleneimine (PEI) and DNA nanocomposites to construct a bioanode.[Ni(phendion)(phen)]Cl 2 complex and methylene green (MG) were investigated as redox mediators for electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH at reduced overpotentials. The LbL architecture showed advantages for sequential enzymatic reaction that favored the efficient penetration of substrate and products in a cascade system while MWCNTs facilitated the efficient electron transfer from sucrose oxidation and enhancement of the current density. With a GCE bioanode modified with a MG or Ni complex, the biofuel cell produced a higher power density (μW/cm 2 ) with 145.8% and 130.11% enhancement comparing to a SPE bioanode, respectively. Moreover, the Ni complex modified GCEs and SPEs produced power densities (μW/cm 2 ) 93.7% and 107.0% higher compared to MG modified bioanodes, respectively. The maximum current density of 1400 ± 46 μA/cm 2 was obtained with the Ni complex on GCE at an OCP of 604 ± 17 mV with a maximum power density of 405 ± 6 μW/cm 2 . The LbL assembly showed great feasibility as a simple and efficient way to construct controlled MWCNT-multi-enzyme modified electrodes for biofuel cell applications. Biofuel cells convert the chemical energy of biofuels into electric energy via the enzymatically catalyzed oxidation and reduction reactions. One of the most important factors affecting the performance of fuel cell is the fabrication of bioanode which has great influence in generation of electrical power outputs. Therefore developing effective bioanodes remains critical. Till date, several reports have been published on various approaches to assemble enzymes on the anodes in BFCs utilizing carbon based materials.1-4 Amongst those layerby-layer (LbL) assembly technique via electrostatic interactions of oppositely charged species has emerged as a very attractive way to construct multilayer films of polyelectrolytes, biomolecules, 5 and organic materials 6-8 offering advantages in various fields, such as surface functionalization, 9,10 drug delivery, 11,12 and biosensing. [13][14][15] Its application was considered plausible in the development of amperometric biosensors initiating vast research activities on biosensors comprised of LbL organized multilayers. LbL nanostructures decorated with multi-enzymes were proven to be one of the successful strategies to establish high electrical performance, long-term stability and long lifetime in bioelectronics devices.14,16-18 For example, LbL structures consisting of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), thiol-functionalized polyaniline and glucose oxidase (GOx) were fabricated for glucose biosensing ...

CuO nanotubes are synthesized using TeO 2 nanorod templates for application to H 2 S gas sensors. TeO 2 nanorod templates were synthesized by using the VS method through thermal evaporation. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the synthesized nanotubes were monoclinic-structured polycrystalline CuO with diameter and wall thickness of approximately 100∼300 nm and 5∼10 nm, respectively. The CuO nanotube sensor showed responses of 136∼325% for the H 2 S concentration of 0.1∼5 ppm at room temperature. These response values are approximately twice as high as that of the CuO nanowire sensor for the same concentrations of H 2 S gas.Along with the investigation of the performance of the sensors, the mechanisms of H 2 S gas sensing of the CuO nanotubes are also discussed in this study.
