A Hierarchically Structured, Stretchable, Anti‐Biofouling Encapsulation for Biodegradable Electronics (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 7/2026)
Abstract
Biodegradable Electronics A soft, stretchable, and anti-biofouling encapsulant integrates self-assembled organosilicon nanowire networks with micropatterned biodegradable elastomers, creating a hierarchical surface that exhibits superhydrophobicity and remarkable improvement in water-barrier performance. This hierarchically structured encapsulant effectively suppresses cell adhesion and fibrotic responses, ensuring prolonged stability and reliable functionality of next-generation transient and bioresorbable electronic implants in physiological environments. More details can be found in the Research Article by Han-Jun Kim, Suk-Won Hwang, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202503622).
