AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Biodegradable films used in flexible electronics face challenges with poor mechanical properties, such as low tear resistance and brittleness, which compromise durability and reliability, and existing reinforcement methods often harm electrical, optical, or mechanical properties.

Method used

A biodegradable film structure with a substrate region and an integral local region, where the area of the integral local region is smaller than the film, formed of a second biodegradable material with a different elastic modulus than the substrate, immersed into the first biodegradable material, allowing for localized reinforcement without compromising overall properties.

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances mechanical strength and flexibility of biodegradable films while maintaining their electrical and optical properties, enabling customization of functional properties with minimal impact on the film's integral form, suitable for applications like ultra-thin conformal skin patches.

Abstract

A biodegradable film and a method for manufacturing as biodegradable film that includes a substrate region and an integral local region. The integral local region is formed of an immersed pattern of biodegradable material that has a different elastic modulus than the elastic modulus of the biodegradable material in the substrate region.
