Microserpentines and electrodes for stretchable and conformable biosensor applications

Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a microserpentine including a plurality of u-bends, each having a degree of completeness (α), in which an α value of 0° corresponds to a semi-circular shape, and in which an α value of +90° corresponds to a complete circle and −90° corresponds to a straight shape. Each of the plurality of u-bends may have an α value of from about −35° to about 45°. The microserpentine may include a core coated with a conductive coating. The core may include a polymeric material. Various embodiments relate to microelectronic devices and methods of producing the same. The microelectronic devices may include but are not limited to a microelectrode array, a microelectronics packaging, an interconnect, a stretchable sensor, a wearable sensor, a wearable actuator, an in vitro sensor, an in vivo sensor, and combinations thereof.
