Abstract

The pandemic has accelerated the shift toward wearable technologies and remote monitoring techniques for healthcare. To facilitate autonomous or self-powered devices, development of mechanical energy harvesting devices that are compliant to curvilinear surfaces or wearable on human body or skin are attractive for cyber physical applications. This presentation underlines our efforts in developing compliant mechanical energy harvesters to power interactive electronic and tactile sensing devices. We design mechanical interlocked stretchable nanofibers that were fabricated using electrospinning for breathable and wearable TENG for tactile interactive sensing and energy harvesting. 3D printable thermoplastic elastomer has also been synthesized to function as a triboelectric active layer which can be simultaneously used as the matrix for stretchable current collector.
