Wet Bio-Adhesion Technology Using Flexible Micro-Cylinders Inspired by a Beetle’s Structure
This study introduces a technology that maintains high adhesion even in wet or moist environments by developing perforated micro-cylinders (PMMCs) inspired by the footpads of a diving beetle. Unlike...
Smart Technology for Diagnosing Skin Diseases with a Beetle-Inspired Flexible Patch
This research developed a smart patch that mimics the diving beetle's suction cup structure to collect biofluids from the skin surface and measure pH, enabling the diagnosis of skin diseases. The...
Bio-Adhesive Hydrogel Patch with Beetle-Wing Structure for Atopic Dermatitis Treatment
This study proposes an effective treatment for atopic dermatitis using an ultra-adhesive hydrogel patch (DSS) that mimics the asymmetric structure of a beetle's wing. The patch maximizes adhesion to...
Ultra-Stretchable Bioelectronics for Robust and Repeatable Biosignal Measurement
This research presents the development of an ultra-stretchable bioelectronic device that adheres perfectly to the skin by combining bio-inspired octopus sucker structures with a kirigami pattern....
Bioinspired Suction-Driven Strategies for Efficient Transdermal Patches
This paper introduces a bioinspired transdermal patch technology that uses negative pressure, or suction, upon skin attachment to enhance drug delivery efficiency. It discusses how this technology...
Pain-Free Transdermal Delivery of Extracellular Vesicles via a Hierarchical Microneedle-Cupping Dual-Amplified Patch
This paper introduces a novel method for effective transdermal delivery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) using a pain-free, dual-amplified microneedle-cupping patch (MN@EV/SC). The patch utilizes...
Skin-adaptive Adhesive Electronic Patch Utilizing Octopus Suction Technology
This study introduces a cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-based electronic patch that mimics the suction cups of an octopus. The patch adheres effectively to the skin, enhancing transdermal drug delivery...
Octopus Sucker-Inspired Patches: An Innovative Technology for Transdermal Drug Delivery through the Stratum Corneum
This paper introduces a novel bio-inspired adhesive patch that mimics the biomechanical features of an octopus sucker. By applying negative pressure to the skin, the patch temporarily widens the...
Mimicking Frog Toe Pads and Octopus Suckers for a Novel Wearable Electrode
