Abstract
 Integration of flexible electronics into the living system is expected for advancing medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Such devices should be conformable to the physical and mechanical environment of our body, in which acquired biosignals should be wirelessly transmitted to external device. In this regard, we envisage ultra-flexible wearable or implantable devices based on the polymer nanosheet technology. The polymer nanosheet shows tens- to hundreds-of-nanometer thickness close to the scale of biomembranes, in which various types of polymers (e.g., biodegradable polymers, conductive polymers, and elastomers) are formed into the ultra-thin structure. The free-standing nanosheet showed flexible and adhesive properties derived from ultra-small flexural rigidity. In this study, the development of nanosheet (or thin film)-based electronics is introduced by combining nanosheet and printing technologies. The nanosheet electronics has been utilized as tissue-interfaced electronics to direct biosignals or functions for advanced medicine and health-care applications.
