Abstract

Nature has inspired various developments of highly biocompatible adhesive systems for the human body. Hierarchically structured adhesive architectures, in particular, have provided solutions to medical devices for human-machine interactions with diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In this chapter, we present recent advances in designs of biologically inspired adhesives in terms of structural and material properties, adhesion mechanisms, and fabrication techniques. We review various demonstrations of the bioinspired adhesive architectures not only as adhesive layers but also as both adhesive and conductive interfaces in wearable electronics for medical applications. To conclude, current challenges and prospects on potential applications are also discussed.
