Soft, implantable devices are extremely attractive in terms of their flexibility, biocompatibility, and immense potential to reliably monitor critical physiological parameters (including both biophysical and biochemical signals). While resorbable magnesium-based transient electronics have pioneered this effort, device lifetime is too short to be clinically relevant. Thus, barrier films that protect the electronics and degrade predictably allow for tunability of device lifetime which expands the viability of these devices for treatment of both traumatic injuries and chronic diseases. This work on novel succinate-based barrier films represents a leap forward in the effort to extend functional lifetimes for <i>in vivo</i> transient electronics.
