Repurposed Leather with Sensing Capabilities for Multifunctional Electronic Skin
Electronic skin (e‐skin), an important part toward the realization of artificial intelligence, has been developing through comprehending, mimicking, and eventually outperforming skin in some aspects. Most of the e‐skin substrates are flexible polymers, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Although PDMS was found to be biocompatible, it is not suitable for long‐time wearing due to its air impermeability. This study reports a simple and designable leather based e‐skin by merging the natural sophisticated structure and wearing comfort of leather with the multifunctional properties of nanomaterials. The leather based e‐skin could make leather, “the dead skin,” repurposed for its sensing capabilities. This e‐skin can be applied in flexible pressure sensors, displays, user‐interactive devices, etc. It provides a new class of materials for the development of multifunctional e‐skin to mimic or even outshine the functions of real skin.
