The emerging technology of wearable biosensors based on flexible electronics technology is making a greatimpact on the rehabilitation of patients. The transition of form factor of sensory electronics from rigid toflexible allowed unprecedented comfort to the patients, especially when worn on the moving parts of body. Thefirst step for the biosensors is to achieve the comfort level that is comparable to wearing clothing on themoving parts of body. The constituting components for flexible electronics are, however, prone to fail due tomodulus mismatch between conducting/computing components and the substrate/encapsulants anddelamination between the components due to the lack of adhesion. Here, we will (i) perform fundamentalresearches on mechanical failure models, (ii) suggest alternative material/device designs based on previouslypublished methods (i.e., no intellectual property issues related to the rules of NSERC Engage project), and (iii)test the mechanical properties of devices that are pertinent to wearability and longevity.

基于灵活电子技术的可穿戴生物传感器的新兴技术对患者的康复产生了很大的影响。感觉电子从刚性弯曲的过渡可以为患者提供前所未有的舒适感，尤其是在身体运动部位佩戴时。生物传感器的第一个步骤是达到舒适水平，与在身体的部位上穿衣服相当。但是，由于缺乏粘合剂，由于导电/计算组件之间的tomodulus不匹配，并且由于缺乏粘附而在组件之间的底物/封装物和夹层之间，因此柔性电子设备的组成组件容易失败。在这里，我们将（i）对机械故障模型进行基础研究，（ii）建议基于先前发布的方法（即没有与NSERC参与项目规则相关的知识产权问题）的替代材料/设备设计，并且（iii）测试与耐磨性和寿命相关的设备机械性能。
