Polymer electronics have a number of advantages for bioelectronic interfaces. Specifically, they can be designed to match the modulus of soft biological tissue to result in less damage due to modulus mismatch. Soft elastic and viscous polymers can accommodate the dynamic movement and change in size due to grow of organ. Finally, the dual-conduction ability, as well as high surface area of conducting polymer hydrogel, result in low tissue-electronics interfacial impedance. This enables low-voltage electrical stimulation and high-resolution electrophysiological recording. In this talk, I will present materials design, fabrication, and applications of soft polymer electronics for bio-interfaces. Examples include morphing electronics, high-density electrophysiological mapping, and neural transmitter sensing.
